The chicken absolutely does not cook in the time indicated. Nice recipe but has anyone had anything but raw chicken if using the stated times?

question

Can this be frozen?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes this could be frozen but because it contains rice it needs to be cooled and frozen within about an hour of cooking. Make sure to reheat it until piping hot and only reheat once. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

I can't get my hands on chantenay carrots would a bunch of the small skinny carrots be a good sub?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes you can use the small skinny carrots, baby carrots or even sliced regular carrots if needed. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

I have no idea what went wrong as followed the recipe but ended up with a bowl full of shredded thick sweet salty chicken? I would love some suggestions on what could’ve happened! Thanks

I had this exact same issue. I might try just 1 chicken breast in the future to see if that helps. Also more rice would work as 50g doesn’t seem enough for 2 servings. And cooking the rice separate would be a good idea. I even had to add some packet miso (mixed with hot water) because I couldn’t…

Utterly delicious....can be easily adapted by adding tofu instead of chicken and adding different types of vegetables too!
