Ginger Chicken Rice Bake

This is my one pot one portion ginger chicken rice bake and it’s a brilliant weeknight dinner for one because the whole thing takes less than 20 minutes. You start by crisping up a chicken thigh in a pan until golden then add fragrant ginger, garlic and spring onions to that pan, letting the soften in the residual chicken fat. Basmati rice and chicken stock get added to the same pan, picking up any of the fond that’s been creating and making sure no flavour gets left behind, then you pop the chicken back in and let the rice and chicken gently steam together until cooked. It’s finished with a fresh pop from peas and spring onions and seasoned with this incredibly addictive sweet soy sauce.
