Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut sweet potato and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop snacking tomatoes. • Thinly slice spring onion. • Drain sweetcorn. • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

Char the corn
3

• Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook corn, tossing, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. • Transfer to a medium bowl. Set aside to cool slightly. TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are 'popping' out.

Cook the chicken
4

• SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot. Add less if you're sensitive to heat and substitute with a little more flour. On a plate, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend, the plain flour, the salt and a pinch of pepper. Add chicken, gently turning to coat. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken steaks until cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side.

Make the salsa
5

• While chicken is cooking, to the bowl with corn, add tomato and spring onion. • Add a drizzle of the white wine vinegar and olive oil. • Toss to coat. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide Mexican-spiced chicken and roast veggies between plates. • Spoon any pan juices and the spring onion and corn salsa over the chicken. • Serve with a dollop of garlic aioli. Enjoy!
