A delicious all-in-one meal for all the family

Ingredients

4 chicken thighs, skin on
4 chicken drumsticks
salt and black pepper
2 tbsp light oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 red or yellow pepper, deseeded and chopped
250g mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp mixed dried herbs
? tsp crushed chillies (optional)
250g basmati or long grain rice
850ml boiling chicken stock (Marigold Swiss bouillon powder or a cube is OK, but reduce the salt, if using)
juice of 1 juicy lime or lemon

Serves: 4 Preparation: 30 Cook Time: 50 Total Time: 80min

Preheat the oven to C/F/gas mark and lightly oil a large, ovenproof baking dish. Heat the rest of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and fry until the skin is golden, about minutes.
While the chicken is frying, scatter the chopped onion, pepper, mushrooms, garlic, herbs, chillies (if using) and rice over the bottom of the baking dish. Lay the browned chicken pieces on top, skin side up.
