Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the olives, green beans, roasted red peppers, rice, tomato purée, rose harissa, oregano, paprika and garlic granules into a large ovenproof dish. Season well.

Dissolve the stock pot in 800ml just-boiled water from the kettle, then pour it into the dish and mix well. Stir in the chicken, then cover and bake for 30 mins.
