Ground coriander

1 tsp

Smoked paprika

1 tsp

Rice, white, dry

¾ cup(s), long grain variety (150g)

Instructions

  1. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, in batches, for 2–3 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Add tomatoes, salsa and 1½ cups (375ml) water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
  4. Return chicken and any juices to pan and cook, covered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in beans and corn and set aside, covered, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
  5. Serve chicken and rice topped with avocado and fresh coriander.

Notes

SERVING SUGGESTION: Mixed salad leaves, drizzled with lemon juice. TIPS: We used Ranchero brand chipotle salsa, which is available from some supermarkets or delicatessens. If unavailable you could use Tabasco chipotle sauce (add to taste as both sauces are quite hot). Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave.
