Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Slice the mushrooms and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the chicken stock in a small saucepan and keep it gently steaming.
Measure the rice and peas, and set them beside the hob with the lemon juice and pepper.
Step by step
Heat half the oil in a wide saucepan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, with no pink remaining in the centre. Transfer to a clean plate.
