Frequently asked questions

How long does the Savory Chicken Oat Breakfast Bowl take?

About 45 minutes in total: 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of cooking for the browned chicken, onion and garlic and the savoury oats.

Is the Savory Chicken Oat Breakfast Bowl vegetarian?

No, it is not vegetarian. Diced chicken breast is browned with onion, garlic and Moroccan spices, then mixed through savoury oats.

Why are the carrots and cucumber added raw?

Folding in grated carrot and diced cucumber at the end keeps them crunchy and fresh, which contrasts nicely with the soft oats and tender chicken.

Can I make the chicken oat bowl ahead?

Cook the spiced chicken ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to two days, but make the oats fresh and add the raw vegetables just before serving.

How can I give the oat bowl more zing?

Add extra lemon juice and a little grated lemon zest at the end, and finish with a good grind of black pepper for a brighter, sharper flavour.
