Season your chicken with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Then, pop it into a hot pan to brown both sides. Don’t stress about cooking it through just yet—we’ll handle that later. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pan.
Spice it up! In the same pan, add your red curry paste and let it cook for 2 minutes while stirring. This step will really wake up those flavours!
Rice time! Add the basmati rice to the pan and stir it around, making sure each grain gets a good coat of that delicious curry paste.
Add the essentials. Pour in 3 cups of water and give the bottom of the pan a good scrape to loosen up all those yummy bits stuck to the pan. This will add even more flavour to your dish!
Veggie power! Spread your frozen stir-fry vegetables over the top, then place your browned chicken pieces back on top.
Cook to perfection. Pop a lid on your pan, turn the heat down to low, and let it cook for 25 minutes. After that, check the rice—if it’s not quite there, give it another 5 minutes with the lid on.
