Ingredients
- 30 ml olive oil

- 250 ml (1 cup) Pedro Ximenez sherry
- 100 ml chicken stock
- ½ tsp native thyme leaves

- 50 g cold unsalted butter, chopped
- Steamed basmati rice, to serve
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Add the sherry and scrape the base of the pan to remove any cooked-on pieces. Add the stock, thyme, oregano, saltbush and ground pepper leaf. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and the liquid has reduced by half. Whisk in the butter until well combined, then serve with steamed rice.
