Cooking instructions

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

1.

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

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Step 1
2.

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, then put the tray in the oven for 20-25 min or until the corn is tender

Step 2
3.

Meanwhile, chop your coriander finely, including the stalks

Combine your mayo with the juice of half your lime[s] – this is your lime mayo

Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person

Crumble your feta

Set everything aside for serving

Step 3
4.

Add your ground cumin, ground smoked paprika, ground coriander and half your chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a plate with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up

Add your chicken breast portion[s] to the plate and turn them several times until fully coated in all the spices – this is your coated chicken

Step 4
5.

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

Once hot, add the coated chicken to the pan and cook for 3 min on each side

Add your tomato paste with 100ml [150ml] [200ml] cold water, give everything a good mix up and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 5
6.

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

Return the pulled chicken to the pan with the sauce and stir it all together – this is your Mexican-style pulled chicken

Step 6
7.

Stir most of the chopped coriander (save the rest for garnish!) through the cooked rice – this is your coriander rice

Carefully remove the sweetcorn cobettes from the tin foil and cut them in half

Step 7
8.

Serve the Mexican-style pulled chicken over the coriander rice with the halved sweetcorn cobettes to the side

Top the cobettes with the crumbled feta, remaining chilli flakes (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and remaining coriander – this is your fiery feta corn

Drizzle the lime mayo all over and garnish with a lime wedge

Enjoy!
