Ingredients

  • 150g Chicken Breast
  • 150g basmati rice
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g courgette
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and courgette, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the basmati rice, then simmer in 2 parts water for 10-12 minutes, cover and steam off the heat for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    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).

  4. 4

    Toss the protein and onion in fajita seasoning and cook over high heat until charred. Finish with lime juice and spoon salsa over the top.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: basmati rice first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
