Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries, then add to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil, half your ground smoked paprika (you'll use the rest later) and a pinch of salt and pepper
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crisp – these are your paprika fries
Meanwhile, add the remaining ground smoked paprika and ground coriander to a bowl with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up
Add your free range chicken breast portion[s] to the bowl and turn several times until fully coated
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the coated chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until golden
Once golden, add a couple of splashes of cold water to the pan then cook, covered, for a further 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Reserve the pan
Meanwhile, slice half your tomato[es] into rounds
Chop the remaining tomato finely
Wash your lettuce and pat dry with kitchen paper, then remove 1 outer leaf per person and set aside, then shred the inner core
Combine your cider vinegar with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl
Give everything a good mix up – this is your dressing
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the cooked chicken to a clean board and shred it apart using two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling'
Return the pulled chicken to the pan and add your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and give everything a good mix up until fully coated – this is your free range Mexican-style chilli chicken
Put your ciabatta[s] in the oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through
Add the shredded lettuce and diced tomato to the dressing and mix it all together – this is your zesty salad
Cut the warmed ciabatta in half
Fill the ciabatta with the free range Mexican-style chilli chicken, a dollop of your mayo, the sliced tomato and a lettuce leaf – this is your free range Mexican-style chilli chicken torta
Serve the paprika fries and zesty salad to the side
Enjoy!
