Chicken and Poblano over Konjac Rice
Chicken thighs browned with charred poblano strips and served over konjac rice with avocado and crumbled cheese.
Ingredients
- 200 g Konjac rice
- 200 g Chicken thighs
- 70 g Avocado
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- ¼ Lime
- 30 g Poblano peppers (optional)
- 40 g Queso fresco (optional)
- ½ tsp Ground cumin (optional)
- 10 g Cilantro (optional)
Method
- Cut the chicken thighs into large pieces and rub them with the cumin and salt. Slice the poblano into strips, slice the avocado, and chop the coriander.
- Drain the konjac rice and rinse it thoroughly under cold water, then dry-fry it in a hot pan for 3 minutes, shaking often, until the water has driven off and the grains squeak.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan over high and cook the poblano strips for 3 minutes until they blister and blacken in places. Push them to one side.
- Lay the chicken into the hot oil and cook 8 minutes, turning once, until deeply browned and cooked through. Squeeze the lime over off the heat.
- Spread the konjac rice on a plate and pile the chicken and blistered poblano over it with the pan oil. Add the avocado, crumble the queso fresco over and finish with coriander.
