This speedy chicken dish isn't burnt – it's blackened, Creole-style! You'll rub it with allspice and smoked paprika, then pan-fry until it's got a dark crust. Serve over corn, cherry tomato and coriander rice, with lime mayo for drizzling. Perfect for any O'Cajun! (Naturally gluten-free, but unsuitable for coeliacs).

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a matching lid, with a knob of butter over a high heat
Once melted, add half [all] the drained sweetcorn and a big pinch of salt
Cook for 2 min or until the sweetcorn has browned slightly
Add the basmati rice and stir to coat the grains
Add 300ml [600ml] water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-15 min or until the water has absorbed and the rice is tender – this is your corn rice
Meanwhile, combine the smoked paprika and ground allspice in a mixing bowl with 1 tsp [2 tsp] pepper and 1/2 tsp [1 tsp] salt
Place your hand flat onto the chicken breast fillet[s]
Slice in half as if you were cutting a burger bun, so you are left with 2 [4] thinner pieces
Add the sliced chicken to the spice mix and mix everything up until the chicken is fully coated
Heat a separate pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the spiced chicken and cook for 3-4 min on both sides or until cooked through, then transfer to a clean chopping board
Note: the chicken will appear very dark and burnt – don't panic, this is how it's meant to be!
Meanwhile, cut the baby plum tomatoes in half
Trim, then slice the spring onion[s] finely
Combine the mayonnaise with the juice of 1/2 [1] lime and season with a pinch of salt and pepper – this is your lime mayo
Add the baby plum tomatoes to the cooked corn rice and warm it through for 1 min
Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
Slice the blackened chicken
Fluff the corn rice with a fork, taste and add more salt and pepper if needed
Remove the pan from the heat and stir the sliced spring onion and chopped coriander through
Serve the sliced chicken over the corn rice
Drizzle the lime mayo over
Enjoy!
