Remove chicken from the pan and place in an oven tray. Place the chicken in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.3. In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric. Add the curry powder and fry until fragrant. Add the tomato paste, grated tomato and sugar and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season and add the chilli.4. Add the rice and stir to coat the rice completely. Reduce the heat and add the stock. Add a bay leaf. Cook the rice for 20 minutes, or until soft. Add the chicken and serve warm.Cook’s note: This is not a traditional jollof rice, rather it is my version. It was inspired by a recent trip to Ghana, where I learnt to make jollof rice.Find more chicken recipes here. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Woolworths TASTE Magazine (@wwtaste) on Jul 26, 2020 at 1:09am PDT
