Instructions

Season the chicken with one Gino max chicken cube, Gino thyme, a little Gino curry and salt. Cook until tender, then grill or fry until golden. Reserve the stock.
Wash the rice and parboil for about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Pour the chicken stock into a pot. Add the remaining Gino max chicken cube and Gino curry.
Add the parboiled rice and cook on low heat until tender and the stock has been absorbed.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok.
Add onions, carrots, peas, sweet corn and peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes so the vegetables remain slightly crisp.
Add portions of the cooked rice to the vegetables and stir-fry until everything is evenly combined.
Finish with spring onions and serve with the grilled chicken.
