Quick and Easy Thai Style Rice

This is a very quick, easy and tasty meal that the whole family love. The other great thing about this meal is you can have a good old fridge clear out. I have put down all the bits we have used in this meal. 

This takes around 10 mins to prep and 15 to 20 mins to cook

Ingredients

Chicken breast cut into bite size pieces or quorn pieces
Microwave Rice we use 2 packs for 5 of us two adults and 3 kids (1 toddler)
Thai Curry paste red or green, I use the smaller pots as no waste.
Coconut milk
Chicken or vegetable stock around 200ml
Examples of veggies you can add red onions, peppers, sweetcorn, peas, broccoli, mushrooms, carrors - add what ever the kids or you like. I cook one version for the kids after school and one for us a little later on.




Method

Cut the chicken breast  and all the veggies you are choosing that need to be cut up into bite size pieces.

Add the chicken or quorn and veggies that need a little longer to cook for exapmle onions, peppers, broccoli, carrots to the pan add around 200ml of chicken or vegetable stock and cook for five mins.




Add the microwave rice I crumble this in, for two adults I use around a pack and a half for the kids I use about half a pack.


Add the Thai curry paste this is very personal, for the boys I start with half a teaspoon and see how we go. For the adults I add two teaspoons to start. 

Then add the coconut milk around a quarter of a can at this stage if cooking for two if 4 add half the can. 



Mix all together and stir well. Add the veggies that need less cooking. Check flavours adding more thai paste if needed. Add little more coconut milk if it is getting too dry.

Check the chicken is cooked and serve and enjoy. We tend to have some prawn crackers on the side.
