2 teaspoon canola oil
1 chorizo or kransky sausage, halved lengthways, thinly sliced
1 skinless chicken thigh fillet, thinly sliced
120 g packet Continental Chicken Rice
1 1/4 cups hot water
1 cup frozen corn kernels or canned corn kernels
100 g grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until crisp and golden brown. Using a slotted spoon transfer sausage to a plate lined with paper towel. Cover to keep warm.
Add chicken to pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Stir in rice packet contents, water and corn. Bring to the boil, stirring. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, cover and cook for a further 2 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is cooked. Remove from heat. Stir, cover and set aside for 2 minutes.
Divide rice mixture among serving bowls. Top with sausage. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges.
