Good to know
Swaps
- No kidney beans? Swap in an equal amount of drained canned pigeon peas or black beans.
- No fresh thyme? Use 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme in place of 1 teaspoon fresh.
- No chicken drumsticks? Use an equal weight of chicken thighs instead.
Storing it
Store chicken and rice in separate airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat until steaming hot. The rice and chicken also freeze well for up to 3 months.
