BASTING SAUCE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the basting sauce with the tomato passata, 50ml water, a drizzle of oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Set aside.
ROAST THE CHICKEN
Place the flour into a shallow bowl. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel, season, and lightly coat with the flour. Place into an ovenproof dish and lightly drizzle oil over the chicken. Place in the hot oven to roast for 30-35 minutes (shifting half-way). When the chicken has been in for 10-15 minutes, pour over the tomato sauce mixture, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time.
START THE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 200ml of salted water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
CHARRED GREENS
While the chicken is in the oven, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
CREAMY FETA
Crumble the drained feta over the cooked green beans before serving.
