(Contains: Milk;)
¼ tsp

• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add basmati rice, the water and the salt, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roughly chop snacking tomatoes. Thinly slice spring onion.
• Zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges.
• In a medium bowl, combine snacking tomatoes, cucumber, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest. Season to taste.
• Place your hand flat on top of chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you’re sensitive to heat. When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, combine chicken with Tex-Mex spice blend. Toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• 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.
• Stir baby spinach leaves through garlic rice.
• Divide spinach garlic rice between bowls. Top with chicken, zesty salsa and a dollop of lemon yoghurt.
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
