Cooking Steps

1
  • Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then 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 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
  • Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. Roughly chop tomato. Roughly chop cos lettuce.
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
  • Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.

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

3
  • Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  • In a medium bowl, combine mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, turning to coat.
4
  • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through, 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

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

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

Serve for dinner
5
  • To the bowl with charred corn, add tomato and half the cos with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Toss to combine and season to taste.
  • Slice chicken and reserve a portion for lunch.
  • Place garlic rice and charred corn salad in a bowl and top with Caribbean chicken. Drizzle over coconut sweet chilli mayonnaise to serve. Enjoy!
6
  • When you're ready to pack lunch, thinly slice red radish. Roughly chop cucumber.
  • Place radish, cucumber, remaining cos and ranch dressing in a container. Top with reserved chicken. Refrigerate.
  • At lunch, drizzle over dressing, toss well to combine and season to tatse. Enjoy!
