Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ gas 6, boil a kettle, then 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 tray (or two!) 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[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until golden and crispy – these are your paprika fries

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 your free range chicken breast portion[s] to the plate and turn several times until fully coated in the spice mix

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

While the chicken is cooking, dissolve your tomato paste in 200ml [275ml] [350ml] boiled water – this is your tomato stock
Grate your cheddar cheese
Combine your mayo and white wine vinegar in a small bowl and set aside for later – this is your zingy mayo

Once the chicken has browned, add the tomato stock and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until cooked through (no pink meat!)
Tip: Flip the chicken occasionally to keep it moist!
Meanwhile, wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper, remove 2 outer leaves per person and shred the inner core[s]
Dice your tomato[es]

Cut your ciabatta[s] in half and add to a baking tray, cut-side up
Put the tray in the oven for 3-4 min or until warmed through and slightly crispy
Tip: Cooking for 4 or more? You may need to use 2 trays!

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 pulled chicken with the grated cheese and cook, covered, for 1 min further or until melted – this is your Mexican-style pulled free-range chicken

To build your burger, fill the warmed ciabatta with a lettuce leaf, Mexican-style pulled free-range chicken and zingy mayo – this is your Mexican-style pulled free range chicken burger
Serve the paprika fries, shredded lettuce and diced tomato to the side
Drizzle any remaining zingy mayo over the lettuce and tomato
Enjoy!
