Cooking instructions

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

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, boil a kettle, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Cut your potato[es] (skins on) into fries, then add to a baking tray with a drizzle of vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and your ground smoked paprika and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crispy

Step 1
2

Whilst the fries are cooking, add your ground cumin, dried oregano, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a plate

Gently stir it all together – this is your spice mix

Add the chicken to the plate and turn several times until fully coated in the spice mix

Step 2
3

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

Once hot, add the spiced chicken and cook for 3 min on each side or until browned

Step 3
4

While the chicken is cooking, dissolve your tomato paste in 200ml [260ml] [340ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock

Grate the cheddar cheese

Combine your mayo and white wine vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for later – this is your zingy mayo

Step 4
5

Once the chicken has browned, add the tomato stock and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)

Tip: Flip the chicken occasionally to keep it moist!

Step 5
6

Meanwhile, wash your lettuce and remove the outer leaves (2 per person!), set aside and shred the inner core

Dice your tomato[es]

Cut your ciabatta[s] in half and add them to a tray (or two!), cut-side up

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 3-4 min or until warmed through and slightly crispy

Step 6
7

Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a clean board and shred it apart, using two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling'

Return the pulled chicken to the pan, season with a pinch of salt and mix it all up until fully coated in the sauce

Return the pan to a medium heat, top the shredded chicken with the grated cheese and cook, covered, for 1 min further or until melted – this is your Mexican-style pulled chicken

Step 7
8

Fill the warmed ciabattas with the lettuce leaves, Mexican-style pulled chicken and zingy mayo – this is your Mexican-style pulled chicken burger

Serve the Mexican-style pulled chicken burger with the paprika fries, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes to the side

Drizzle any remaining zingy mayo over the lettuce and tomatoes

Enjoy!
