Slow-cooked chicken with brown rice and avocado

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and season chicken with salt. Cook chicken pieces, skin-side down, for 6 minutes or until skin is golden. Turn, then cook for a further 4 minutes or until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.

Step 2

Add the onion, coriander root and garlic to the same pan and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add dried oregano, spices and tomato paste, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add tomato and stir to coat, then add stock and bring to the boil.

Step 3

Return chicken to pan, cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour 30 minutes or until chicken is very tender. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Increase heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for a further 15 minutes to thicken. Season.

Step 4

Remove skin from chicken, then shred the meat, discarding bones. Return chicken to sauce, stirring to warm through.

Step 5

Serve with rice, avocado, tomatillo, and mixed micro coriander and spring onion.
