Ingredients
For the Prawns
- 250 gm Prawns

- 1 cup Rice steamed
For the Sauce and Flavor
- 2 tbsp Peanuts
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 tbsp Fruit Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce dark
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Set aside.

- Add the green peas and corn to the pan. Cook until they are heated through but still retain their vibrant color. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

- Add the cooked rice to the pan and toss gently to combine with the sauce. Add the chopped green chilies for a touch of heat.
- Gently fold in the cooked vegetables, peanuts, and prawns. Mix everything together until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and easy one-pot prawn rice!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. Work in batches to ensure even cooking and a nice sear.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to control the level of spiciness.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the chili in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
