As part of the #shortcuteggsperts project with British Lion Eggs and Britmums, myself and other #shortcuteggsperts will be coming up with a series of recipe using eggs.
For this month the topic is 'Mains', and the challenge is to come up with a main meal for the family in around 20 minutes. This is one of our favourite quick meals and I usually use leftover cooked roast chicken but this time I used chicken breasts that I had previously cooked in my sous vide thermo circulator, which produced extremely juicy chicken, making it perfect in this dish. It's best to use rice that is cooked and cooled, otherwise it can stick together and if you really want to simplify the dish then packets of pre-cooked microwave rice is ideal. I find that frozen cooked chicken breast strips work well too, just make sure that they are fully defrosted before adding to the pan.
