• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiling water. Add brown rice and a generous pinch of salt. • Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, uncovered, until tender, 25-30 minutes. • Drain rice and return to saucepan.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice leek. Finely chop garlic. Drain and rinse lentils (see ingredients). • Cut chicken breast strips into bite-sized chunks. • In a medium bowl combine chicken, ras el hanout, the salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and leek, tossing until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and vegetable stock powder and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add the honey and toss to coat, 1-2 minutes.
TIP: The chicken will char a little in the pan, this adds to the smokey flavour!
