Method

  1. 1

    Mix the lemon juice, mustard, garlic and chilli together and toss with the chicken and half the sliced onion. Marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the chicken, 3–4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining onion to the pan and cook over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until soft and golden.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken and marinade to the pan, cover and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve over rice, scattered with parsley.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 20 g parsley, 320 g chicken thigh and 100 g cooked rice. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
