Copy Text

Place the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well together.  Cut slits in the chicken and season with salt and pepper.  Rub the marinade over the chicken making sure it is well-coated.  Leave to marinade for as long as you can – the longer the better.

Preheat the oven to gas Mark 6, 200°C (400°F) .

Arrange the chicken in a single layer on a baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.

To prepare the rice: Heat the oil in a large sauce pan and add the onion. Cook over a medium-high heat until the onions are browned.  Be careful not to let them burn.

Add the cinnamon, cloves and turmeric. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

Then add the rice and cover with the stock or water. Put a lid on the sauce and bring to the boil. Stir once, then reduce to a simmer for approximately 10 minutes. At this stage the water will have evaporated and the rice with be fluffy.

Serve the chicken with the rice, lemon and coriander yoghurt, some lemon wedges and a green salad.

These Apricot Jam Breakfast Muffins can be prepared the night before and cooked to perfection in the morning –

These delicious treats can be prepared the night before and cooked to perfection in the morning.

Ingredients

  • 2 large free-range eggs
  • 150ml pot of natural low-fat yoghurt
  • 50ml rapeseed oil
  • 2 tblsp no added sugar apricot jam
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 4 tblsp clear honey
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 200g of wholemeal flour
  • 50g of porridge oats, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tblsp mixed seeds
  • extra apricot jam
  • a handful of flaked almonds, for sprinkling

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas Mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 12 large muffin cases.
  2. In a mixing jug, combine the eggs, yoghurt, rapeseed oil, Apricot Jam, banana, honey and almond extract.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the wholemeal flour, oats, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and mixed seeds.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine until you have a smooth batter. Don’t over mix as this will make your muffins tough.
  5. Divide the mix between the muffin cases and place about half a teaspoon of Apricot Jam on the top of each of the muffins. Sprinkle with the extra porridge oats and the flaked almonds.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until risen and golden. Check that they’re cooked by inserting a skewer into the middle of one of the muffins. They’re done if it comes away clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. These will keep for 3 days in a sealed container but they taste best on the day of baking.
