Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and ¼ tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

While the rice cooks, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. 

Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Once the chicken is browned, add the shallot to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 3-4 mins. 

Stir in the garlic, curry powder and mango chutney to coat the chicken and cook for 1 min.

Pour the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) into the chicken pan and stir in the chicken stock paste. Add the green beans and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium.

Cover with a lid or foil and simmer until the beans are tender, about 5-7 mins.

Once the beans are tender and the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and stir in the soured cream and peas.

Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if a little thick. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

​Make kid friendly: If you’d prefer to serve the veg on the side, heat a drizzle of oil in another frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Turn the heat down to medium, add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins. Add the peas to the pan and cook for 1 min more, then remove from the heat.

When ready, fluff up the rice with a fork and share between your bowls.

Spoon your coronation chicken curry over the top and tuck in. Serve the veg alongside if you've cooked it separately
