Cooking Steps
• Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine Tex-Mex spice blend a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, tossing to coat. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Remove from heat, add the honey, turning chicken to coat.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways. • Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking, then cut into bite-sized chunks. • Trim and slice pea pods length ways.
• In a large bowl, combine slaw mix, pea pods, baby spinach leaves, croutons, BBQ mayo, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. • Toss to combine and season to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the slaw!
• Divide crouton slaw between bowls. Top with Tex-Mex chicken. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many found the chicken tasty, but some felt the salad lacked flavour. Adding onion or spring onion could boost the slaw's taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it great for family dinners. The dessert option was appreciated for a complete meal.
- Suggestions: Consider cooking the pea pods slightly for better texture. Adding diced pumpkin to the chicken creates a more substantial dish.
- Portions: Some found the chicken portion small. Adding extra vegetables like pumpkin can make the meal more filling.
- Dessert: The chocolate pudding received mixed reviews. Some loved it, while others found it lacking flavour or too soupy.
