You really can't beat a rice bowl, especially when it's bringing colour, flavour and crunch to the table. This dish is no different, packed with lemon-pepper seasoning which coats the chick'n to perfection. It's also bursting with the brightest zucchini and green beans we could find and is all topped with some crushed peanuts for crunch!

• Meanwhile, slice zucchini into half-moons. • Trim and halve green beans. • In a small bowl, combine sweet chilli sauce, the soy sauce, the vinegar and a splash of water.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook zucchini and green beans, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Transfer to a bowl, season and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook plant-based chicken strips, tossing, until browned, 4-5 minutes.
