Nigella (and Simon's) REAL LIFE Chicken

Simon's half-arsed sell on this dish is hilarious and worth the price of admission - but the meal itself is a keeper.It's his riff on a Nigella recipe: SIMON'S REAL LIFE CHICKEN Find a wide fry pan with a good-fitting lid, then get8 chicken thighs, skin onand you fry them in 2-3tbs garlic oil with zest of a lemon added in, skin-side down, until browned.Set the chicken aside... and then to the still sizzling pan, add in 500g Basmati rice and stir well.Add 1tsp ground cumin.Pour over 1L of hot chicken or vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper, bring everything up to a simmer, add the chicken, pop the lid on then simmer gently for 25 mins.To serve, squeeze over lemon, toss over some herbs and add a dollop of Greek Yoghurt.
