Cooking Steps
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!
