Comforting and packed with flavour, our White Rice + Chicken Melody pairs fluffy steamed white rice with our signature chicken melody – juicy chicken glazed in a bold blend of West African spices, sweet peppers and aromatics. Simple, satisfying and unmistakably Nigerian.
Chicken melody is a Village Pot signature. Tender chicken is seared, then simmered in a bold, aromatic blend of West African spices, blended sweet peppers, onion, garlic and traditional seasoning until it takes on a glossy, deeply savoury glaze that clings to every piece.
We spoon it straight over a bed of fluffy steamed white rice, so every bite gets a little of that spiced sauce alongside the clean, mild rice underneath. It is a mid-heat plate that feels like home cooking – comforting for regulars and easy to love for first-timers.
Add sweet fried plantain, fresh coleslaw or moi-moi on the side if you want the full Nigerian party spread on one plate.
Village Pot is at 180 King Street, close to Portage & Main, Central Park and the Exchange District – an easy pickup for downtown offices. Order White Rice + Chicken Melody from our online ordering page, or start with a classic like jollof rice with stewed meat from our full menu.
