Frequently asked questions

How long does Savory Chicken and Herb Oat Bowl take?

About 35 minutes: 10 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking for the chicken and the oats.

Can oats really work as a savoury base in Savory Chicken and Herb Oat Bowl?

Yes, oats simmered in water for a few minutes turn creamy, much like a quick risotto. Topped with browned chicken, sautéed carrots and cool cucumber cubes, they make a filling savoury bowl.

Can I use rolled oats instead of masala oats?

Yes, plain rolled oats work well. Season them with salt, pepper and a pinch of mixed herbs as they simmer to make up for the missing masala.

How do I keep savoury oats from turning gluey?

Simmer them gently for just 3 to 5 minutes and stir only now and then. Take them off the heat while still slightly loose, as they thicken as they sit.

Is this chicken oat bowl vegetarian?

No, it contains chicken breast, so it is not vegetarian. The oats are cooked with herbs and topped with the seasoned chicken.
