Method
- In a bowl, soak the currants in the sherry vinegar. Slice the chicken breast all the way through the middle to create 2 thinner fillets the same size. Sprinkle with the caraway seeds, allspice and salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked. Cool, then shred with 2 forks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the basmati rice, shredded chicken, cucumber, toasted flaked almonds, lemon zest and fresh herbs. Drain the currants, reserving the vinegar, and add to the rice.
- Whisk the olive oil into the reserved vinegar with the wholegrain mustard and soured cream. Add a little salt and pepper, then pour over the rice and toss together. Divide between 2 plates and serve.
