Cooking Steps

Cook the garlic rice
1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, basmati rice and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then 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!

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. Grate the carrot. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, Nan's special seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside. • In a small bowl, combine peri peri sauce and the honey. Set aside. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook sweetcorn until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a second medium bowl.

Cook the chicken
3

• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add the peri peri sauce mixture, tossing chicken to coat.

TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!

Serve up
4

• To the bowl of charred corn, add baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. • Divide garlic rice between bowls. Top with charred corn salsa and saucy peri peri chicken. • Garnish with torn parsley leaves to serve. Enjoy!
