Cooking instructions

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

1.

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Add your sweetcorn cobettes to a large piece of tin foil and top with a large knob of butter

Scrunch the foil around the corn until tightly sealed and add to a baking tray (or two!)

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the corn is tender

Step 1
2.

Add your chicken breast portions to a bowl with your chipotle paste, half your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), ground cumin, ground smoked paprika, 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper – this is your marinated chicken

Give everything a good mix up, then set aside

Step 2
3.

Whilst the chicken is marinating, chop your coriander roughly, including the stalks, then peel and chop the garlic roughly

Add the chopped coriander and chopped garlic to a food processor with a pinch of salt and 50ml [75ml] [100ml] cold water

Blitz until you're left with a green liquid – this is your coriander paste

Tip: No food processor? Chop everything up as finely as you can and mix it together!

Step 3
4.

Heat a pot with a lid with a knob of butter over a medium heat

Once melted, add your white long grain rice with a generous pinch of salt and cook for 1-2 min or until toasted

Tip: Watch it like a hawk to make sure it doesn't burn!

Step 4
5.

Once toasted, add the coriander paste with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water to the rice 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

Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving – this is your green rice

Step 5
6.

Whilst the rice is cooking, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-9 min on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred (no pink meat!) – this is your chipotle chicken

Step 6
7.

Whilst the chicken is cooking, trim, then slice your spring onion[s] finely

Once the corn is tender, spread your mayo around each cobette with the back of a spoon

Crumble your feta over the corn and add a pinch of the remaining cayenne pepper (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) – this is your elote corn

Cut your lime[s] into wedges

Step 7
8.

Serve the chipotle chicken with the green rice and elote corn to the side

Squeeze the juice of a lime wedge over the green rice

Garnish with the sliced spring onion and a lime wedge

Enjoy!
