Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve, peel and finely chop half the onion (double for 4p).
Add oil to a large pot on medium heat. Add the onion. Fry until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir occasionally.
Add rice, chickenstock and 375ml water (double for 4p). Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cook covered until liquid is absorbed, 12-14 mins.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
While the rice cooks, peel and halve the carrots lengthwise. Cut into 2cm thick half-moons.
Zest, then juice the lemon.
Pat the chicken dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper.
Mix the aioli with half the zest in a small bowl.
3
Add the breadcrumbs to a dish.
Coat the chicken in half the aioli mixture. Working with one chicken breast at a time, press both sides into breadcrumbs to coat completely. Carefully shake off any excess breadcrumbs. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the breaded chicken.
Fry until golden brown, 1-2 mins per side.
4
Transfer the breaded chicken to a lined baking tray.
Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 12-14 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Wipe the pan clean and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
5
When the pan is hot, add carrots, honey, 75ml water and 1 tbsp butter (double both for 4p).
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender and liquid is absorbed, 9-10 mins.
Remove pan from heat. Add 1 tsp lemon juice (double for 4p).
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
6
Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in remaining lemon zest. Season with salt.
Divide the rice, chicken and carrots between plates.
Serve remaining aioli mixture on the side, for dipping.
