Bake it for 30 minutes.

Next, remove the lid and mix up the rice with a fork and return it to the oven for 10 minutes until the chicken and rice are both cooked through.

Dish steaming hot spoonfuls of chicken and rice into bowls.

Garnish with a dollop of yoghurt, fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime juice and Enjoy!
