Farmhouse Chicken and Rice
The liquid from the tomatoes can be added to the dish if a moister mixture is preferred.
This is a good way of using up left-over rice. If using raw rice you will need 100 g (4 oz) to make the amount required for this dish.
Ingredients
- 12 oz boneless cooked chicken meat skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 oz margarine or butter
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 2 carrots sliced
- 4 oz Chinese leaves or summer cabbage shredded
- 14 oz can tomatoes drained and chopped
- 12 oz cooked long-grain rice
- 7 oz can sweetcorn kernels drained
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2 oz mature Cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a large saucepan, add the onion, celery, carrots and Chinese leaves and fry for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are just tender, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the chicken, tomatoes, rice and sweetcorn and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and cook gently for a further 10 minutes or until piping hot.
- Add the parsley and cheese and stir until the cheese has melted. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
