Frequently asked questions

How long does Savory Chicken Oats Bowl take to make?

About 35 minutes, with 15 minutes of prep and 20 minutes of cooking.

What gives Savory Chicken Oats Bowl its flavour?

The masala oats bring a savoury, spiced base, the chicken is seasoned with Moroccan spice, and a squeeze of lemon plus fresh coriander brighten everything at the end.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breast in an oats bowl?

Yes, thighs stay juicier and suit the spices well. Cook them a couple of minutes longer until there is no pink inside.

How thick should the masala oats be?

Cook them until thick but still spoonable. Add a splash more hot water if they set too firm before serving.

Can I prepare the chicken oats bowl ahead?

You can cook the chicken the night before and keep it chilled. Make the oats fresh, as they thicken and turn stodgy when reheated.
