Step by step

Up to 8 clear steps
  1. Sweet Chilli Chicken Rice Traybake cooking step 1: Prep the tray.
    Step 1

    Prep the tray

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, then heat the oven to 220C. Cut the broccoli into small florets, dice the red pepper, slice the spring onions, and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix the sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, and half the lime juice in a small bowl.

    10 min

    Keep the green spring onion tops separate so they stay fresh for serving.

    Step 2

    Start the rice

    Rinse the rice, then tip it into a deep roasting tin with the red pepper, sweetcorn, and hot chicken stock. Stir once, cover tightly with foil, and bake for 15 minutes until the rice has started to swell.

    Bake the chicken
