Hướng dẫn

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6.

Combine the cubed chicken with the seasoning mix and 2 tbsp olive oil. Mix well to coat evenly.

Place the chopped peppers, red onion, and garlic in a large, deep roasting tray. Dot with the butter.

Roast in the oven for 10 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.

Remove the tray from the oven. Scatter the seasoned chicken and rinsed rice evenly over the roasted vegetables.

Add the bay leave and half the lemon into the tray.

Pour the chicken stock over the contents of the tray.

Cover the tray tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Uncover, add a few knobs of butter on top and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.

Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
