<\/a>I’m starting to wonder if leftover chicken recipes are all I have up my sleeve. The blog is inundated with them. This is largely down to the fact that Sunday night roast chicken is a fortnightly treat, thus Monday morning brings with it the promise of leftover goodies. This dish was inspired by a Nigel Slater recipe in the latest Sainsbury’s magazine. Cheers Nige.<\/p>\nServes 1
\n<\/span>2 shallots, peeled and roughly chopped
\n1 stick celery, roughly chopped
\n100g brown basmati rice, soaked in cold water
\nChicken stock
\nAsparagus, roughly chopped
\nLeftover chicken
\nA handful of cooked prawns
\nParsley and mint
\nHalf a lemon
\nOlive oil, salt, pepper<\/p>\n– Sweat the shallot and celery in olive oil until softened. Drain and rinse the rice under cold running water for a minute or so, before adding to the pan with salt and pepper. Add enough stock to cover by a couple of centimetres, bring to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes.<\/p>\n
– Meanwhile, bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the asparagus. Simmer for 2 minutes, drain and run under a cold tap for a minute.<\/p>\n
– When the rice is cooked add the chicken, asparagus, and prawns, along with some chopped parsley and mint, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Warm through and serve.<\/p>\n
