Slimming Eats #1 Chilli Lime Chicken and Rice Bake P112

Prep:30minCook:1h 50min

Some days I just want an easy meal I can throw into the oven, with minimum effort, and this is one of those recipes. Although it contains quite a few ingredients, once everything is all put together it is just a case of baking in the oven and it's done. As a family we love this served in the middle of the table with a bowl of soured cream, avocado and a simple salad, where we can just all dig in and help ourselves.
