Cook the wild rice blend according to the pack, usually 20-25 minutes, then drain.

Season the chicken breast, butterfly it so it cooks evenly, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the juices run clear (75°C in the thickest part).

Coat the protein generously in Cajun seasoning. Mix the yoghurt with lemon juice and a pinch of the spice to make a cooling dip.

Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and green beans for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.
