  5. Turn down to a simmer, put the lid on the pan and let the rice cook for 25 minutes or until just a little water remains in the pan

  6. Meanwhile, preheat the grill/broiler on medium and cook the chicken, discarding the marinade for 4 minutes on each side then remove and cool. The chicken won't be cooked fully at this point
