Method

  1. 1

    Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, poach the chicken breast in a pan of gently simmering water for 10–12 minutes until cooked through, then drain, cool slightly and dice.

  3. 3

    Mix the mayonnaise, curry powder, mango chutney and lemon juice in a bowl.

  4. 4

    Fold the diced chicken and sultanas through the dressing.

  5. 5

    Season to taste, then spoon over the warm rice and scatter with flaked almonds and spring onion.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 7 spring onions, 150 g chicken breast and 1 lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
