Frequently asked questions

How long does the Savoury Chicken and Vegetable Oat Bowl take?
About 40 minutes, with 15 minutes of prep and 25 minutes of cooking. The chicken, vegetables and oats all cook one after another in the same pan.
Is the Savoury Chicken and Vegetable Oat Bowl vegetarian?
No, it is not vegetarian. It contains diced chicken breast cooked with garlic and spices, which is then stirred through the oats and vegetables.
How do I stop the chicken drying out in the oat bowl?
Cook the diced chicken just until done, then lift it out of the pan while the vegetables and oats cook. Returning it at the end means it only warms through instead of overcooking.
Can I use a different vegetable instead of chayote?
Swap it for courgette or extra diced carrot. Both cook in a similar time and hold their shape once sautéed, so the bowl keeps some bite.
How can I make the chicken oat bowl richer?
Stir in a knob of butter or a little grated cheese at the end, or top each bowl with a fried egg. Extra garlic and a pinch more spice mix also deepen the flavour.
