A serving of citrus chicken with rice and green beans

Serves: 2

Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sunflower oil
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 raw chicken breast, cut into large pieces
  • 1 teaspoon plain flour
  • half a red pepper, sliced
  • Juice of 1 orange, or 75ml orange juice plus 25ml water
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 to 2 medium potatoes, cubed
  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and brown the onions over a low heat, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour. Then add the chicken to the pan and brown for 2 minutes, stirring all the time to make sure it doesn’t stick.
