Author Notes

Could this be my favourite supper? It is certainly in the top 5 and here is why - it is delicious, easy, quick, cheap and totally restoring when all you want to do is lie on the sofa. I realise it is not a looker but I implore you to give it a chance, I have never made this for anyone without them asking for the recipe. This is my ultimate comfort recipe. —Anna May

Confused by the amount of rice compared to chicken here. Only 4 tablespoons, which will of course double, but that's not huge even for just two people. The amount of chicken seems quite bug if the thigh fillets are anything like the ones I get. Am I missing something?

I know it looks odd but it is right! I guess if you have jumbo chicken thighs you could use less of them or increase the rice. When I make it for my husband and I we always wish there was more but after 5 minutes realise we are actually full! Try it, it is so delicious, you can always tinker with the amounts to suit.
