Hey Guys,

I am boiling myself a bag of rice in the morning and taking it to work, and I eat it with some chicken as one of my meals. However, it's dry as hell and I was looking for some suggestions as to what I can do to make it a little more interesting?

Any good sauces or anything?

Cheers.

Try adding some home-made salsa:

chop up (dice)

2 or 3 fresh tomatoes
1 red chilli
1 green chilli
1 red onion
1 clove of garlic
some fresh coriander

Add 2 or 3 teaspoons of olive oil, some tabasco sauce and grind in some black pepper.

Mix together with your rice and chicken to give it a kick!

or if hot and spicy isn't your thing...

Lemon and ginger rice and chicken:

Chop up (dice)

1 2-3cm piece of fresh ginger root
1 clove of garlic
4 spring onions

Mix into the rice with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice (fresh or Jif lemon), some black pepper and a dash of dark soy sauce.

Hope this helps a bit.

Nando's Sauces, O MY GOD! I make my chicken and rice up at night, with some Organic Olive Oil, and some BBQ Nando Sauce, mix all together bang in the fridge, and its ready in the morning for work. Either eat cold or Nuke it for 2mins. Tastes amazing!!

Thanks Geo,

How are you cooking your chicken?

Geo

I just George Foreman its ass for like 3-4 mins at 215. Job done, chop up, add rice, Olive Oil, and sauce mix. Done in like 10mins for 2 meals.

I use 200g Chicken, 62g Cooked rice.(But only cos im Dieting) If i wasnt dieting it would be a hell of alot more.

Hope this helps dude??

It does Geo.

At the minute, I am cooking the chicken in an oven bowl. Firstly marinade over night, and then simply put it in the oven for around 1 hour 30 minutes. I find that this helps keep the chicken juicy, as I feel the GF drys it out?

Are you buying the Nando's sauce from Tesco? The sauces I have seen in there are all marinades?

Geo

You can get em anywhere mate, Tesco, Morrisons etc. There is Like so many to choose from, BBQ, hot, Garlic, Piri Piri etc. Check out the Facts/Figures at the back there is like Nothing in them, but taste Amazing.

try the forman dude, once the rice, Oil, and sauce are all mixed together there is no dryness. Its heaven i tell ya heaven!

Geo

Okay I will do mate, I will take trip to Tesco for some more chicken tomorrow and take a look for the sauce.

It's just ordinary sauce though right, not marinade?

Geo

Just normal dude, here is a Pic.

Try wrapping your chicken fillets in foil THEN sticking them under the george foreman, they dont go dry AND you dont have to spend an hour cleaning the thing afterwards! Win win !
