Preparation
1
Cook the Rice

  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rice.
  • Stir in the chicken stock and mix well.
  • Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
  • Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
Get prepped

  • Clean the mushrooms with kitchen paper and cut them into quarters.
  • Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

3
Fry the Veg

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat.
  • When hot, fry the mushrooms and leek for 4-6 mins, stirring occasionally.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside.

4
Brown the Chicken

  • Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breast with oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) pan and brown the chicken on all sides for 3-5 mins. It shouldn't be fully cooked at this point. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5
Cook the Sauce

  • Add the mushrooms, leek, creme fraiche and 75ml water (double for 4p) to the pan.
  • Cover and cook for 2-6 mins, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
  • Remove the lid and cook for another 4 mins or until the sauce has reduced.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Divide the rice between plates and place the chicken on top.
  • Cover with the mushroom sauce.
