• Boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice celery. • Grate the carrot. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks.
• In a medium bowl, combine All-American spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. Set aside.
• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, add cornflour and the plain flour to the chicken, then toss to coat. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • When oil is hot, dust off any excess flour from chicken and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine shredded cabbage mix, carrot, celery and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice and celery slaw between bowls. • Top with All-American crispy chicken bites. • Drizzle over smokey aioli to serve. Enjoy!
