Cooking Steps

Boil the Rice
1
  • Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 10 mins.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Prep the Veg
2
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Trim and coarsely grate the carrot.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Brown the Chicken
3
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.  
  • Once hot, add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 2-3 mins each side. Season with salt and pepper
  • Once browned, remove from the pot and set aside. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh. 

Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Return the pot to medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry onion, garlic, Mexican spice and carrot for 4-5 mins. 
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, stock, sweetcorn and a pinch of sugar along with the browned chicken
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 mins.  IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. 
  • Add a splash of water if the chilli becomes too thick. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and thinly slice into strips.
  • Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
  • Mix the chilli with half a sachet of apple cider vinegar (per 2P), salt and sugar to taste.
  • Mix the chicken strips with the marinated chopped chilli

TIP: Keep some of the shredded chicken plain if cooking for kids.

6
  • Divide the rice between deep plates or bowls.
  • Arrange the chicken strips on top, followed by a generous dollop of chilli.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of parsley.

TIP: If cooking for kids, create a smaller plate with some rice, plain chicken and chilli.
