After trying Ainsley Harriott's wonderfully flavoursome cous cous, I decided to try out all of his other products that he has in his range. The first one I went for was this Chicken Flavour Rice.

After trying Ainsley Harriott's wonderfully flavoursome cous cous, I decided to try out all of his other products that he has in his range. The first one I went for was this Chicken Flavour Rice. I was always a big fan of Bachelors Flavoured Rice so this Ainsley Hariott product was one I was certain I was going to like and I was right!
The rice is around 70 pence per packet and I have seen them for sale in most of the leading supermarkets and a lot of smaller local shops too. The packet contains 120 grams and does state that this is a 2 serving packet although I would say that it would serve two as part of a main meal but I chose to eat all of my packet on my own for a lunch time meal.
The rice is less than 1% fat and this is what also attracted me to product. It actually has 402 calories when you eat the whole packet (as I did) and 2.6 grams of fat (only 1.4 is saturated). This I feel is not bad especially as it fills you up so much. Having this at lunch time meant that I needed nothing else but the rice so not only is it filling and low fat but it is also a very cheap lunch time meal.
Making the rice is pretty easy too. You can either cook it on the hob with water or like I did, add boiling water and blast in the microwave for around 8 minutes. It takes no time really and is well worth the tiny amount of effort.
The packaging of the rice is easy to open and of a good design. The sachet that the rice comes in is made of paper and the top is easily torn off so that the rice can be poured into a cooking jug or pot. The rice to look at has a nice golden colour to it and the smell is slightly that of chicken but it does smell rather tasty.
The rice has lots of bits f what I guess is dried vegetables which when cooked become soft, tasty and give the rice a much nicer look than if they were not included. The taste of the rice is really very nice and one that I enjoyed till the end. I would say the taste is like chicken but not overly strong. The rice and vegetables cook nicely and the flavour seems to stick to every single grain of rice. I found the Chicken rice to be very morish and I probably could have eaten another half a packet(although I am know to be a bit greedy!).
I can honestly rate this product highly and it is another product form the Ainsley Hariott range that is well worth buying. It is a perfect lunch time meal seeing as it is quick to prepare, filling (I was full till dinner), tasty and cheap! All these factors really do make it a five star product!
. This is a good price for what you are getting and even compared to shops own brand is not really that much more expensive.
The packaging looks good and has all the right information on the outside. The cartons are easy to store in the cupboard as are the single sachets and they are also easy to open.
To make the cous cous all you have to do is empty one sachet into a bowl and add 120ml of boiling water. You then have to wait for the water to be absorbed by the cous cous and then with a fork fluff the cous cous up. It is so simple and I find a perfect thing to take into work for lunch as something different.
Cous Cous is basically like small balls of rice but far better. The AinsleyHarriott Cous Cous has all this added flavour and is just so tasty. The cous cous boasts having no artifical flavours, colours or preservatives which ...
