a) Boil a full kettle. When boiling, pour the water into a large saucepan with 1/4 tsp salt on high heat.
b) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
c) When cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

a) While the rice cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
b) When the oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
c) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Trim the green beans and chop into thirds.

a) Once the chicken has browned, stir in the onion and green beans.
b) Stir-fry until the veg has softened, 3-4 mins.
c) While the veg cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
d) Once the veg has softened, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.

a) Stir the teriyaki sauce into the pan along with the water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount).
b) Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce is sticky, the beans are tender and the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
c) While it simmers, halve the chilli lengthways, deseed and thinly slice.

a) Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed.
b) Stir in the sesame seeds.
c) Add a splash of water if it needs loosening, then remove from the heat.

a) Fluff up the rice and serve with the teriyaki chicken on top.
b) Sprinkle over the chilli (add less chilli if you don't like heat) to finish. Enjoy!

Step 2 MOD: If you've chosen to get diced chicken breast instead of thigh, cook the recipe in the same way.
