Serves 8 Prep 20 mins Cooking 40 mins
Ingredients
200g basmati rice
olive oil
1 3/4 cups water
250g smoked chicken breast, skinned and diced

Bakeware

Method

5. Bake in oven for about 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to touch.
6. Either turn onto a cooling rack to cool and then slice to serve or slice and serve warm from baking tin.
