Frequently Asked Questions
Can I meal prep this recipe?
Yes! The chicken mince keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat and serve with fresh rice and garnishes.
Can I freeze the chicken?
Absolutely. Cook the mince, let it cool, then freeze in airtight containers. Defrost and reheat before serving.
Can I make it with turkey mince?
Definitely. Turkey mince works just as well and keeps it lean and high protein.
What if I don’t have coconut rice?
Any microwave rice works — jasmine, basmati, or even brown rice. Coconut rice just adds a little extra flavour.
Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the chicken mince for Quorn mince or crumbled firm tofu.
Is this recipe spicy?
It’s got a kick from the chilli. However you can adjust the heat level to your taste.
