3. Remove from the heat and fluff using a fork. Allow to cool to room temperature. 

4. Preheat the oven to 180. Grease the base and sides of a 12-hole muffin tin and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Set aside. 

5. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chutney, brown onion soup powder and 3 tablespoons of water and whisk until smooth and thick. Stir in the rice, shredded chicken, cheese, eggs, spring onion and season with salt and pepper to taste. 

6. Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared 12 muffin holes and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crisp on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before taking out of the muffin tin. 

7. Serve 2 rice cups as a dinner portion, each with a dollop of mayonnaise and a sprinkle of sliced spring onion, next to a fresh salad and ENJOY! *Chef’s Tip: Make a few extra for tomorrow – they’re the perfect size for your lunchbox!
