Cooking Steps
- To a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
- Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan 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, drain sweetcorn. Thinly slice tomato into wedges. Trim end of cos lettuce then separate leaves (see ingredients).
Little cooks: Help wash and toss the veggies! Older kids can help out with the can opener under adult supervision.
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken breast strips, Tex-Mex spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the seasoning and tossing the chicken.
- Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
- Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.
- Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook chicken strips until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, 6-8 minutes.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
- Divide rice, Mexican chicken strips, charred corn, tomato and cos lettuce between plates.
- Serve with Cheddar cheese and smokey aioli. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top and drizzling over the aioli!
