Sticky Spicy Pineapple Chicken With Garlic Rice & Corn Salad

Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Deseed your sweet pointed pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop roughly chop

Peel and finely dice your shallot[s]

Drain your sweetcorn

Heat a pot with a lid over a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add your white long grain rice and chicken stock mix to the pot with 225ml [300ml] [450ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked

Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving – this is your garlic rice

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

Once hot, add the drained sweetcorn and chopped pepper and cook for 4-5 min or until charred

Once charred, transfer to a bowl, reserve the pan

Add your chicken to a clean chopping board, cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin until flattened to approx. 1cm thickness

Return the reserved pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Once hot, add the flattened chicken with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 5 min on each side or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!)

(Doubled your proteins? Use 2 pans!)

Tip: Cooking for 3? You may need to do this in batches!

Meanwhile, combine the charred corn, pepper and diced shallot in a bowl and crumble your feta over the top

Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and toss – this is your charred street corn salad

Once the chicken is cooked, add your pineapple & birds eye chilli sauce (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to pan with a splash of cold water and cook for 1 min further or until the sauce is sticky and coats the chicken – this is your sticky spicy pineapple chicken
