Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoon Mexican Seasoning + 1 teaspoon extra
  • 1 sweet potato
  • ½ butternut squash
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 red onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 corn cobs

To serve:

  • 2 cups rice cooked
  • 1 avocado diced
  • pico de gallo
  • sour cream
  • fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 F / 200 C.
  • Cut the chicken into finger-sized strips. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the Mexican seasoning and mix well. Set aside.
  • Now prepare the vegetables: Peel and chop the sweet potato and butternut squash into 1 cm cubes. Slice the red onion into thin slices and slice the red pepper into strips. Peel the garlic and squash gently with a knife.
  • Put your rice on to cook.
  • Add all the vegetables to a roasting tin, toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of Mexican seasoning and mix well.
  • Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until softened, stirring after 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, char the sweetcorn. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the cob and then dry fry them in a hot skillet for around 5 minutes until lightly charred, then set aside.
  • When the vegetables and rice are nearly ready, cook the chicken. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet, and add the chicken. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through - around 5 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your skillet.
  • To serve: Add rice to the base of your bowls. Top with the chicken, roasted vegetables, charred corn, diced avocado, pico de gallo, a spoonful of sour cream and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves.
