Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Add your ground smoked paprika, dried oregano and cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to a plate with a generous pinch of salt and pepper
Give it a good mix up – this is your Cajun-style spice mix
Add your chicken to the Cajun-style spice mix and turn until fully coated in all the spices
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) 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
Add a couple of splashes of water to the pan and cover with a lid, cook for a further 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
(Doubled your protein? Use 2 pans!)
Meanwhile, wash your lettuce, then pat dry with kitchen paper and roughly shred
Drain your sweetcorn
Wash your shredded red cabbage
Add the shredded red cabbage, shredded lettuce and drained sweetcorn to a bowl and set aside
Cut your lime[s] in half
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks
Add the juice of the lime[s] to a bowl with your natural yoghurt and most of the chopped coriander (save the rest for later!)
Add a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up – this is your limey dressing
Add the limey dressing to the bowl with the vegetables and give everything a good mix up – this is your crunchy slaw
Serve the Cajun-style chicken over the crunchy slaw
Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander
Enjoy!
