Ingredients
- 1 x 615g pack skinless and boneless chicken thigh fillets, trimmed
- 7 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 100g cashew nuts
- 3 x 250g pouches cooked brown basmati rice
- 1 x 165g bunch spring onions, finely chopped
- 4 carrots, finely shredded
Step by step
- Put the chicken thigh fillets on a plate and brush with 5 tablespoons hoisin sauce to coat. Preheat a large frying pan until hot, add 1 tablespoon oil and fry the chicken thighs for 10-12 minutes, until golden and cooked through, brushing over a little more sauce and turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer to a dish, cover and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, tip the cashew nuts into a separate pan and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then put aside.
- Pour the remaining olive oil into the frying pan (or use a large saucepan if the frying pan isn't big enough) and add the rice, spring onions and carrots and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until heated through. Stir in the cashew nuts and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
- Cut the cooked chicken into strips. Spoon the rice into bowls and top with the chicken and extra sauce to serve.
