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).

Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
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
2
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 cornrice

Meanwhile, combine the smoked paprika and groundallspice 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 slicedchicken to the spice mix and mix everything up until the chicken is fully coated
4
Heat a separate pan with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the spicedchicken 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 plumtomatoes to the cooked corn rice and warm it through for 1 min

Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
