Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 9, 240°C, fan 220°C. Add the chicken, carrots, onion, curry powder and oil to a high-sided roasting tin. Season, toss, then spread out in the tin, nestling the chicken fillets on top of the vegetables. Roast for 25 mins or until golden.
- Thoroughly rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water for 1-2 mins; set aside.
- Stir the garlic and chilli into the tin and return to the oven for 3 mins. Reduce the temperature to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Set the chicken fillets aside on a plate, then add the rice and stock to the tin, stirring well. Nestle the chicken on top, cover tightly with foil, then bake for 15 mins.
- Use a fork to fluff up and stir the rice mixture around the chicken, re-cover with foil, then bake for another 15 mins or until the rice is fluffy and tender and the chicken is cooked through. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then serve with the coriander and lemon wedges.
