Cooking Steps
1
- In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp oil (per 2P) with half the Mexican spice mix.
- Add the chicken to the bowl. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Toss to coat in the spices and set aside.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
2
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Pop the onion into a bowl along with ¼ tsp sugar (per 2P), ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and the red wine vinegar.
- Set aside, continuing to stir at regular intervals.
3
- Drain the beans in the sieve.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the chicken until cooked through, 8-10 mins.
- When the chicken has cooked for 5 mins, add the black beans and remaining Mexican spice.
- Cook for the remaining time, 3-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
4
- Meanwhile, drain the corn in a sieve.
- Chop the tomato into 1cm chunks.
- Trim the salad leaves and roughly chop.
- Roughly the coriander (stalks and all).
- In a salad bowl, combine the corn, tomato, coriander, salad leaves and a drizzle of oil. Season with pepper.
5
- Quarter the lime.
- In a small bowl, mix the creme fraiche with a drizzle of oil and the juice of one lime wedge (per 2P).
6
- Divide the salad between plates.
- Spoon the beans with the chicken on top.
- Drizzle over the creme fraiche dressing and garnish with the drained pickled onion.
- Serve with the remaining lime wedges alongside for squeezing over.
