GOLDEN RICE
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the diced Onion until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add the golden rub. Add the rinsed rice and 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam with the lid on, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover and set aside.
PREP STEP
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, loosen the Yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain, place in a salad bowl, and set aside.
BUTTERY CHICKY
Place a pan (that has a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken breast dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken on one side until golden, 2-4 minutes. Flip, cover with the lid, and fry until cooked through, 2-4 minutes. During the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
SIMPLE SIDE SALAD
To the salad bowl with the peas, add the shredded leaves, the diced Tomato, the remaining onion (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined.
