    Heat oil in a deep lidded pot over medium-high heat.

  2. 02

    Cook the main protein and vegetables in the order given below, using the same pot throughout.

  3. 03

    Brown chicken for 6 minutes, remove briefly and soften diced pepper with onion.

  4. 04

    Add rosemary with the garlic, then rice, stock, chicken and olives.

  5. 05

    Simmer covered until cooked.

  6. 06

    Stir rinsed raw rice into the pot for 1 minute, then pour in the measured stock and bring to a simmer.

  7. 07

    Cover and simmer over low heat for 12 minutes; avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily.

  8. 08

    Continue covered for another 5–8 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed; add a splash of hot water if it dries out too early.

    Check the protein is fully cooked and piping hot; rest covered off the heat for 5 minutes, fluff and serve.
