Ingredients

  • 150g Chicken Breast
  • 120g brown rice
  • 80g red pepper
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 10g lemon juice
  • 50g greek yoghurt
  • chopped parsley

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  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

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the bowl: brown rice first, then the veg and chicken breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the chopped parsley.
