Cooking Steps

1

• Drain sweetcorn. • Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

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

• Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. • When oil is hot, cook chicken steaks until cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • In the last minute, add garlic and sprinkle over Tex-Mex spice blend. Cook until fragrant, gently turning chicken to coat.
