Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1

Finely slice the brown onion. Finely chop the zucchini. Finely chop the carrot (unpeeled). Peel and crush the garlic. Finely slice the green capsicum.

Cook the yellow rice
2

Rinse the Jasmine rice well. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the brown onion, the zucchini and the carrot and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and turmeric and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the rice and stir to coat in the spices. Pour in the water (check the ingredients list for amount) and crumble in the chicken stock cube. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Season the chicken
3

While the rice is cooking, slice the free-range chicken breast into 1 cm strips. In a medium bowl, add the sliced chicken, the salt (use suggested amount), the taco spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with a pinch of pepper and toss to coat.

Cook the Mexican chicken
4

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until cooked through. TIP: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate. Add the green capsicum to the pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the garnish
5

Finely chop the coriander leaves. Cut the lime into wedges.

Serve up
6

Divide the rice between plates and top with the Mexican chicken and capsicum. Top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and sprinkle over the coriander. Serve the lime wedges on the side to squeeze over before serving.
