Ingredients (Serves 3)
- 250g cooked rice (leftover rice works best)
- 150g chicken breast (cut into strips)
- 100g button mushrooms (sliced)
- 50g green peas (thawed)
- ¼ onion (finely diced)
- 80g mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 50ml heavy cream
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Shred the Ingredients
Place the button mushrooms in the vegetable chopper and spin four times to create fine shreds. Process the chicken breast with three spins into uniform strips. Thinly shredded chicken and mushrooms cook quickly and evenly—no more undercooked centers—making weekday dinner prep stress-free.
2. Sauté the Filling & Mix with Rice
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the diced onion until fragrant. Add the chicken strips and cook until they turn white. Stir in the mushroom shreds and green peas, sauté for 2 minutes, then pour in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper, simmer for 1 minute, and mix in the cooked rice until every grain is coated.
3. Bake to Cheesy Perfection
Transfer the rice mixture to a baking dish and cover generously with shredded mozzarella.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
Serve hot—watch the kids dive in with their spoons, delighted by the stretchy cheese and comforting flavors. A meal that brings the whole family together.
