Step-by-step instructions

First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Grill Pan
BBQ (optional)
Bowl

Step 1

1 Cook Rice

In a medium pot, bring 112 cups water to a boil. Stir in the basmati rice, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Keep pot covered and let the rice absorb the water off the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.

Tip! When swapping the chef selected protein in this recipe, adjust the cooking times and the method to ensure your protein is cooked properly and therefore safe to eat.

Step 2

2 Prepare Ingredients

Shred cos. Zest lime and cut into wedges. Dice mango (see tip). Pick coriander leaves and roughly cut, discarding stems. Dice 1/2 chilli and slice the rest. Cut the onion in half, cut one half into wedges and dice the other half. Slice the capsicum.

Tip! Using a sharp knife, slice the mango on either side of the stone. Score a lattice into the flesh, careful not to cut through the skin. Gently push out the flesh and cut off the cubes.

Step 3

3 Make Salsa

Mix the mango, diced onion, diced chilli (to taste), 1/2 coriander (keeping the rest for garnish) and a squeeze of lime juice (to taste). Season with salt. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. Mix chipotle mayo and a squeeze of lime juice (to taste) together and set aside.

Step 4

4 Cook Chicken

Pat chicken dry and spread the taco seasoning over the chicken, covering all sides. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes each side, or until cooked through.

Tip! You can cook the chicken and veg on the BBQ if preferred, for some smokey flavour and less clean up.

Step 5

5 Grill Veg

Add capsicum and onion wedges to the same pan you cooked the chicken in, cook for 1-2 minutes each side. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

6 You Plate It!

Slice the chicken. Combine lime zest and rice. Divide the rice, cos and grilled veg between bowls. Top with sliced chicken and mango salsa. Garnish with sliced chilli and remaining coriander. Drizzle chipotle mayo over the top (to taste). Enjoy!
