Instructions

  • Before you start, preheat oven to 220°C (or 200°C fan bake).

Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 10 more minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking. Prep spinach and set aside.

  • Prep lime. Stir spinach through cooked rice. Toss chicken in cooking sauce and sprinkle with crispy shallots.
  • Serve rice with chicken, slaw and lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
