Cook the rice as per the instructions on the package, adding the turmeric for colour, cover & set aside when cooked.
Cook the Mangetout & carrots for 8 mins. The snap peas & broccoli heads for 5 mins.
In a pan cook the marinated chicken for 10 mins (saving the marinade) then turn over & repeat until the chicken is cooked and when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part, clear liquid runs out. Remove and rest the chicken, then slice thinly.
Return the marinade to the pan, add the water & cook until it thickens, add the rice & mix.
