Ingredients

2 x large free range chicken thighs
2 pouches of Borough Broth Co. Organic Chicken Pho Broth
1 x hot red chilli (optional)
6 x spring onions
2 x limes
200g rice noodles
1 x small bunch fresh coriander (optional)
1 x small bunch fresh mint (optional)
100g x beansprouts (optional)

Method

1

Dust the skin of the chicken thigh with a pinch of salt. Place in an ovenproof dish and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.

2

Pour the pouches of broth and heat on the hob. Bring to the boil for 30 seconds then reduce to a simmer.

3

Take one of the red chillies and remove the seeds, and slice into 2mm strips. Add to the simmering broth.

4

Slice 3 of the spring onions into 2mm strips and add the juice of one lime to the broth. 

5

Cook noodles according to their cooking instructions. Drain when ready to serve.

6

Remove the cooked chicken from the oven. It should be brown on top (crisp skin) and cooked through without being too dry. Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes then slice into  bite-size pieces.

7

Prepare a plate of aromatics - beansprouts, mint leaves, coriander leaves, the other lime (chopped into quarters), and the rest of the chilli and spring onion. 

8

Place the drained noodles into the two bowls. Put the chicken pieces on top.

9

Pour the hot broth over the noodles and chicken, add a sprig of coriander to garnish and serve with the plate of aromatics to add as you wish.
