Preparation
-
Chicken Marinate:
- Portion each whole chicken into 8 or 10 pieces. Marinate it in oil, Knorr Chicken Stock Powder, tomato and harissa paste. Allow absorbing flavours for 12 hours minimum.
- Place marinated chicken into casserole or oven dish and cook covered with lid or foil for 30 minutes.
- Finally, grill the chicken uncovered for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Savoury Rice:
- Sweat off the onions in oil before adding the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook till soft.
- Add the spices whole and ground, cook for 2 minutes to allow flavours and aromas to come through.
- Add the peppers, carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes more.
- Once all the ingredients are well mixed and cooking add Knorr Tomato Pronto and water. Crumble the Knorr Chicken Stock Cubes into the pot and dissolve.
- Finally, add saffron and un-soaked rice. Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 15 minutes on low to medium heat or until rice is tender.
- Take 50% of the nuts, seeds and dried fruits, mix them through the warm rice before serving.
-
To Serve:
- Layer the chicken portions onto the rice and sprinkle the additional nuts, seeds and dried fruits over the dish.
