On the table in 30 minutes, this delicious dinner ticks all the boxes. Juicy, crispy chicken with a sticky chilli sauce, loads of vegies and fluffy steamed rice. We chose asparagus, broccolini and red onion, but you can throw in any you have and toss the lot through some udon or soba noodles instead of rice. But stick to thigh fillets for the chicken, as that will give you a much more tender, flavoursome meat than breast fillet.
