    Ingredients

    • 250g brown basmati rice
    • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
    • 1 garlic clove, crushed
    • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
    • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
    • 100g frozen sweetcorn
    • 100g grated carrots
    • 100g red peppers, cut into small cubes
    • 1 avocado, stoned and sliced

    Method

    1. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. Then, drain the rice and return it to the pan so it stays warm.
    2. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, then add the garlic and fry for 2 minutes or until golden.
    3. Add the chicken to the pan and fry until the pieces are entirely cooked through. Once the chicken is cooked, add the hoisin sauce and seasoning. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes.
    4. Cook the sweetcorn in simmering water for 2 mins, then drain.
    5. Serve in a colourful arrangement. We recommend pushing the rice to one corner of the bowl and topping it with the avocado. Your chicken, carrot, red pepper and sweetcorn can then be placed in rows. But, let your child’s imagination run wild and allow them to serve theirs in any way they like.

    Ingredients

    • 2 spring onions, ends trimmed off
    • 4 tablespoons of frozen peas, defrosted
    • 1 courgette, halved with the ends cut off
    • 2 slices of ham
    • 100g feta cheese
    • 4 eggs

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan assisted/Gas Mark 4. While the oven comes up to temperature, chop the spring onions and place them in a bowl with the peas.
    2. Grate the courgette using a rotary grater and add the grated courgette to the bowl. Then, using a pair of scissors, cut the ham from above the bowl so that the pieces fall straight in.
    3. Using your hands, break the slices of feta above the bowl so they also fall straight in.
    4. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until the whites and the yolks are fully mixed. If any bits of shell fall in, make sure you scoop them out with a teaspoon.
    5. Pour the eggs into the other bowl and stir. Then, brush around an ovenproof dish with oil and tip everything in.
    6. Place your frittata in the oven for 30 minutes or until the egg is fully set.
