Cooking Steps

COOK THE COCONUT RICE
1

In a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk, the water and the salt and bring to the boil. Add the basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

GET PREPPED
2

While the rice is cooking, finely chop the cucumber. Finely chop 1/2 the tomato. Pick and thinly slice the mint leaves (save some whole leaves for lunch!). Finely chop the long green chilli (see ingredients list), if using. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and a good drizzle of olive oil.

CHAR THE CORN
3

Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Drain the sweetcorn (see ingredients list). Add the sweetcorn to the pan and cook, tossing, until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are "popping" out.

COOK THE CHICKEN
4

Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in batches, and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). While the chicken is cooking, add the cucumber, chopped tomato, chopped mint, chilli (if using) and the white wine vinegar to the bowl with the charred corn. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine.

TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside.

SERVE UP DINNER
5

Thickly slice the chicken, and reserve two portions for lunch (about 1 cup). Divide the coconut rice between bowls, top with the remaining Jerk chicken and spoon over the charred corn salsa.

MAKE LUNCH
6

When you're ready to pack your lunch, thinly slice the remaining tomato into half-moons. Divide the chicken between two microwavable containers. Divide 4 classic wraps, the tomato, mixed salad leaves, the reserved mint and the coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise between two lunch packages. Refrigerate. At lunch, microwave the chicken in 30 second bursts until heated through. Spread the coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise over the wraps and top with the tomato, mixed salad, mint and chicken. Roll up and enjoy!
