  • A handful of wild garlic
  • 45g butter, softened
From your kitchen

You'll need
  • Small pan with lid

Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Rinse the rice under cold water then tip the rice into a small pan. Pour in 300ml hot water from the kettle. Add a pinch of salt, cover and bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down. Simmer for 6-8 mins till all the water has been absorbed. Take off the heat and set aside to steam, lid on, for 5 mins to finish cooking the rice.

  • 2.

    While the rice cooks, tear the mushrooms into small pieces. Trim the courgette and chop it into small chunks. Peel and finely chop the onion. Set them to one side.

  • 3.

    Chop the chicken in bite-size pieces. Warm a frying pan on a medium heat for 2 mins, then add 1 tbsp olive oil. Carefully add the chicken and cook for 8 mins, turning once or twice, till the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

  • 4.

    Meanwhile, finely chop the wild garlic and pop it into a bowl. Add the butter with a good pinch of black pepper and stir together.

  • 5.

    Lift the chicken out of the pan and set aside on a warm plate. Add the mushrooms, courgette and onion to the pan. Add a third of the wild garlic butter. Cook for 5 mins, stirring often, till the veg have started to soften.

  • 6.

    Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any resting juices from the plate. Add the remaining wild garlic butter and cook for 2 mins, stirring, till everything is glossy. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.

  • 7.

    Divide the rice between 2 plates. Top with the chicken and veg, and drizzle over the wild garlic butter to serve.
