Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Spread the chicken out on a baking tray and cook for 12 minutes.
Cut each goujon in half and toss with the sweet chilli sauce, sesame seeds and most of the spring onions until the chicken is well coated. Return to the oven for 2 minutes or until the sauce is lightly bubbling.
Meanwhile, cook the rice according to packet instructions. To serve, divide the rice between plates, top with the chicken pieces and scatter over the remaining spring onions.
