Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Make the rice and peas: heat 2 tbsp oil in a large frying pan, then fry onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic, then stir in the rice. Cook for 1 min more. Add the beans, pour in the stock and coconut milk and season well. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer gently for 25-30 mins or until the rice is just cooked. Add the thyme and petit pois for the final 3 mins of cooking, then fluff up with a fork.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, mix the mango chutney, lime zest and juice and remaining olive oil, then season well. Heat a griddle or frying pan, brush a little of the mix over the chicken breasts, then cook for 5 mins each side until charred and cooked through. Once done, set aside to rest for a few mins while you heat the rest of the mango mix in the pan. Serve the rice and peas with a chicken breast and spoonfuls of tangy mango sauce.
