Cooking instructions

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

1.

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Step 1
2.

Peel and cut your brown onion[s] into quarters, then separate the wedges so you end up with a pile of onion petals

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

Once hot, add your chicken breast strips and onion petals to the pan with your jerk paste and a pinch of salt and cook for 10-12 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!) – these are your jerk-spiced chicken strips

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, zest half your lime[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter)

Roll the lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice) and cut in half

Step 3
4.

Chop your tomato[es] finely

Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]

Drain your sweetcorn

Step 4
5.

Squeeze your pouch[es] of cooked white long grain rice to separate the grains

Tear the top corner of the pouch[es] (just a little!) and microwave for 2 min or until piping hot

Tip: If you're cooking two pouches, pop them in together but increase the microwave cook time accordingly

Step 5
6.

Add the drained sweetcorn to a bowl with the chopped tomato, sliced spring onion, lime zest and juice from half your lime[s]

Add a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and stir it all together – this is your zingy sweetcorn salsa

Step 6
7.

Combine your mayo with a small squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of pepper – this is your lime mayo

Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Step 7
8.

Serve the cooked rice and top with the jerk-spiced chicken strips and zingy sweetcorn salsa

Top with the lime mayo and garnish with a lime wedge

Enjoy!
