Name: Chicken taco rice bowl with chilli-honey yogurt
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 8 min
Yield: 1
Cuisine: Mexican-style
Ingredients: 245 g boneless chicken breast (245 g chicken boneless); 1/2 tomato, chopped (60 g tomato); 1/4 onion, chopped (30 g onion); 1 large clove (4 g garlic); 1/2 tsp (1 g cumin seeds); 1/2 tsp (2 g red chili powder); 1 tsp (2 g coriander powder); 1 pinch dried oregano (0.3 g oregano); 3/4 tsp (3.4 g cooking oil); 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp raw sella rice (55 g rice sella); 1 tsp juice (5 g lemon); 1 tbsp (3 g coriander fresh); 1/4 tsp (1.5 g salt)

Method

Sunday 09:30, pressure cooker: this bowl's 245 g chicken + the quesadilla's 200 g, garlic, cumin, chilli, coriander powder, salt and 1/2 cup water; 3 whistles, 5 min on low, off the heat.
The Sunday rice pot cooks this bowl's 55 g rice with Sunday dinner's 35 g: 12 min in plenty of salted water, drain, spread thin to cool.
Open the cooker when the pressure has dropped; shred with two forks and weigh out 140 g for the quesadilla.
Non-stick pan: oil on medium, onion 3 min, tomato 4 min until jammy, then this bowl's chicken and oregano, dry 3 min.
Chill rice and chicken separately: rice in a lidded box in the fridge within 1 h, chicken in its own box in a sink of cold water; combine them side by side in one box only when both are cold, then freeze.
On the day: tip into a covered pan with 2 tbsp water, 6-8 min on medium, stirring once, until steaming right through. The rice is reheated once only.
Top with lemon, coriander, the kachumber and the chilli-honey yogurt.

Freeze & reheat

Freeze: One box, rice and chicken side by side. Label: 'TUE - LUNCH - Taco chicken + rice (COOKED, has rice: reheat ONCE) - covered pan 8 min - made Sun __/__'
Thaw & reheat: Fridge Monday night; reheat once only in a covered pan with 2 tbsp water, 6-8 min, until steaming. Never reheat rice twice.
Keeps: Freezer 1 month; after thawing eat within 24 h

Why it tastes good: Cook the tomato to a jam before the chicken goes in, and let the cold sauce hit the hot bowl: that contrast replaces sour cream and cheese.
