  1. Cook rice Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a medium pot and bring to the boil. Once boiling, stir, cover and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and steam, covered, for 8 more minutes. Do not lift lid.
  2. Prep chicken Pat chicken dry and slice into 1cm strips.
  3. Cook chicken Heat a small drizzle of oil in a non-stick fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn to brown on all sides. Set aside, covered, to keep warm. Reserve pan.
  4. Prep slaw While chicken cooks, grate apple and toss in a medium bowl with remaining slaw ingredients. Season.

If sauce is too thick, add a little more water, until desired consistency is reached. Add chicken back to sauce. Mix to coat and season. Keep sauce and chicken separate for fussy foodies.
