Before you start

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium bowl, a measuring jug & a sieve

Get the rice on & char the corn

  • Add the rice to the saucepan and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain
  • Drain the sweetcorn
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the corn and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden, remove from the pan and set aside

Salsa time

  • Thinly slice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Quarter the lime. Dice the avocado into 1cm chunks. Roughly chop the coriander
  • In the medium bowl, combine the avocado, half the onion, half the tomatoes and half the coriander. Add the juice from the lime, 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside

Simmer the chicken

  • Thinly slice the peppers
  • Reheat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 7 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the pepper, remaining onion and remaining tomatoes and cook for another 7 mins, until the chicken is cooked through
  • Stir in the Mexican spice, hot honey, tomato puree and cook for 1 min, then pour in 200ml hot water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the sauce thickens

Finish & serve

  • Once the rice is cooked, return to the saucepan and stir through the charred corn. Season with salt
  • Check your chicken is cooked through by cutting a large piece in half; the flesh should be white and the juices running clear
  • Serve the chicken into bowls, with the corn rice and avocado salsa alongside. Scatter over the remaining coriander
