Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your white long grain rice to a pot with a lid with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Step 1
2.

Once the rice is done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving

Meanwhile, combine your diced chicken thigh in a bowl with your ground smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a pinch of salt – this is your coated chicken

Boil half a kettle

Step 2
3.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the coated chicken to the pan and cook for 10-12 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 3
4.

Whilst the chicken is cooking, cut your lime[s] in half

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely

Dissolve your tomato paste and soy sauce in 75ml [110ml] [150ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock

Drain and rinse your black beans

Step 4
5.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the tomato stock to the pan and cook for a further 1-2 min or until the sauce has thickened – this is your chicken tinga

Step 5
6.

Meanwhile, combine your mayo with the juice of half your lime[s] in a small bowl – this is your lime mayo

Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Grate your cheddar cheese

Step 6
7.

Once the rice is cooked, stir through the drained black beans and season with a pinch of salt – this is your beany rice

Step 7
8.

Serve the beany rice in a bowl with the chicken tinga, shredded lettuce and grated cheese to the side

Drizzle over the lime mayo and garnish with a lime wedge

Enjoy!
