By request, here's a new recipe, adapted from one I saw by the hairy bikers. Ingredients (enough for 2 servings): Vegetable oil 2tbsp honey 2tbsp soy sauce 2tbsp lemon juice 1 or 2 cloves finely chopped garlic Black pepper 2 chicken breasts 2/3 mug basmati rice, cooked as per packet instructions 1 heaped tsp coriander seeds 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 1/3 mug peas 1/3 mug finely chopped pineapple 1 large onion, sliced 1 red pepper, sliced 1 lime  Mix 2tbsp vegetable oil with the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Lay the chicken breasts on a chopping board and cut each one in half parallel to the chopping board (like you're butterflying them, but cut all the way through). Put them in the bowl too and coat in the mixture. Heat a frying pan until it's *very* hot, and add a small amount of oil. Put the chicken in the pan, pouring over half of the remaining mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn them over, pour over the rest of the mixture, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and leave to rest. Meanwhile, put a wok containing some oil and the coriander seeds (these are essential... I love 'em) on a high heat, and once the seeds start to pop, add the onions and fry for a few minutes. Then add the red pepper and peas, and a minute later, the cooked rice, turmeric powder, and pineapple. Stir for a couple of minutes or until the rice starts sticking. Ladle out onto plates, then chop the chicken diagonally into strips and place on top of the rice. Squeeze lime juice over the top.

They look yummy (not the pics, the stuff on it).
