Step-by-step instructions

First Things First

Our vegetables and fruit come as fresh as can be, so please give them a quick wash before you get started.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...

Bowl
Frying Pan
Blender

Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Mince garlic. Thinly slice the spring onion. Trim the broccolini. Pick and chop the coriander leaves, discarding the salks. Cut the lime in half and juice.

Step 2

2 Marinate Chicken

In a large bowl mix the soy sauce, juice of half a lime, 1 Tbsp olive oil, cumin & smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and stir to coat in the marinade. Set aside for 10 minutes.

Step 3

3 Cook Rice

In a medium pot, bring 1 1?2 cups water to a boil. Stir in the jasmine rice, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Keep covered with a lid and let the rice sit off the heat for a few minutes to absorb any residual water. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.

Tip! You can use a rice cooker if you have one.

Step 4

4 Cook Chicken

Heat frying pan on a medium-high heat. Drizzle the pan with olive oil. Place chicken thighs on the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. In the last 5 minutes add the broccolini and cherry tomatoes to the grill to cook, turning after 3 minutes.

Tip! Chicken can be cooked on a barbeque if you prefer.

Step 5

5 Make Green Sauce

Combine jalapenos (to taste), coriander, spring onions, minced garlic, greek yoghurt, juice of half a lime, salt and pepper in a food processor or a blender and process until smooth.

Tip! Vary the heat in the sauce by using more or less jalapenos to your taste.

Step 6
