Cooking Steps
• Rinse and drain white rice. • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil. Cook garlic paste until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add rice, the water and a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don’t peek
• Meanwhile, chop snacking tomatoes. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • Zest lime to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine snacking tomatoes, spinach, lime zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat. In a second medium bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and toss to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chicken, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 5-6 minutes. In the last minute, add the honey and toss to coat. Remove from heat, then season.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with the Mexican chicken, tomato salsa and lime yoghurt. • Serve with any remaining lime wedges and tear over coriander. Enjoy!
