Ingredients

  • 140g Chicken Thigh
  • 120g wild rice
  • 80g sweetcorn
  • 80g spinach
  • 50g salsa
  • 50g red onion
  • 15g lime
  • 2 tsp fajita seasoning
  • fresh coriander

Method

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Toss the chicken thighs in half the sauce and roast at 200°C (180°C fan) for 22-25 minutes, until caramelised at the edges and cooked through.

  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 sweetcorn and spinach for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: wild rice first, then the veg and chicken thigh, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander.
