Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 120g brown rice
  • 80g butternut squash
  • 80g bean sprouts
  • 30g curry paste
  • 150g coconut milk
  • 20g juice of ½ lime
  • fresh coriander & sliced chilli

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the butternut squash and beansprouts, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Fry the red curry paste for 1 minute until fragrant, stir in the light coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes. Finish with lime juice.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the butternut squash and beansprouts for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander & sliced chilli.
