Cooking instructions

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

1.

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

Step 1
2.

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 chicken breast portion[s] to the bowl and turn several times until fully coated

Step 2
3.

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 splash 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!)

Step 3
4.

Meanwhile, slice half your tomato[es] into rounds

Chop the remaining tomato finely

Wash your lettuce and pat it dry with kitchen paper, then remove 1 outer leaf per person and set aside, shred the inner core[s]

Step 4
5.

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

Step 5
6.

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 Mexican-style chilli chicken

Step 6
7.

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[s] in half

Step 7
8.

Fill the ciabatta with the Mexican-style chilli chicken, a dollop of your mayo, the sliced tomato and a lettuce leaf – this is your Mexican-style chilli chicken torta

Serve the paprika fries and zesty salad to the side

Enjoy!
