Ingredients
- 2-3 CHICKEN THIGHS PER PERSON
- 2-3 boil in a bag White Rice
- 3 Cubes Chicken Oxo
- Enough Boiling Water to cover rice bags
- 1 Tin Green Giant Sweetcorn
- 1 Jar Schwartz Cajun Spice Mix
Method
- 1. Rub the entire contents of the Cajun spice mix jar over the chicken thighs, top and bottom, then set aside to infuse whilst you are pre-heating the oven.
- 2. Pre-heat oven to 200C. Once pre-heated, put chicken thighs skin side up in a roasting tin (no need for oil as they will release own oil).
- Close oven door and set timer for 20 minutes.
- Once timer has gone off, boil enough water to cover rice bags and place rice into water, crumble 2 Chicken Oxo cubes into the water, boil rice according to packet instructions (usually 18-20 minutes).
- Nearing the end of the cooking time, boil your kettle and crumble a chicken oxo cube into a jug and make up a chicken style gravy (you will probably only need a mugs worth of water, this is just to drizzle over the rice).
- Quickly heat up the sweetcorn in a pan on the hob in the juice contents of the tin.
- Drain rice and place into a mixing bowl, add in cooked sweetcorn plus juices and mix to combine.
- Dish up rice/sweetcorn mix into bowls and pour over gravy juice.
- Take chicken out of oven (total cooking time should be 35-40 minutes).
- Place 2-3 thighs on top of the rice and serve immediately.
