Rice- Rinse the rice in cold water, place in a saucepan, add water salt and leave to boil for 20 minutes

Cut onions, red & green bell peppers into big chunks
Now add the peppers above to the chicken, ***remember to add once chicken is done as this needs to be crunchy***, add the marinade, chuck in some mangetouts, leave to simmer for a few minutes.
Add rice in a small bowl & place in the middle of a flat plate as shown below:-
