1 tbsp. lime
1⁄2 chili, chopped
handful coriander, chopped
Spices:

1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground cumin
1⁄2 tsp. chili flakes
Instructions
1. Chop the chicken into cubes. Season with salt,
pepper, spices and crushed garlic.
2. Cook the rice according to the instructions on the
packaging, drain, and transfer onto a plate to cool.
3. Heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat, and fry
the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the chopped
onion and diced peppers and continue to cook for
another 3-4 minutes.
4. Next, add the drained sweetcorn, beans and the
cooked rice. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.
5. Remove from the heat, and add the peeled and diced
tomato, then mix.
6. To serve, divide the rice between plates, top with
avocado, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with

Pro Tip: To easily peel the tomato, pour boiling water over it for
about 1 min, the skin will then easily come off.
