Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Drain and finely chop the pineapple (reserve 1 tbsp [2 tbsp]juice for later!)
Chop the tomato[es] finely, then peel and finely dice the shallot[s]
Chop the coriander finely (including the stalks)
Shred the gem lettuce[s]
2
Combine the chopped pineapple, shallot, tomato and coriander in a bowl with a pinch of salt – this is your pineapple salsa
3
Combine the mayonnaise and reserved pineapple juice in a second bowl
Top with the shredded lettuce and set aside until later
Tip: Don't mix the lettuce and mayo together until serving! This stops it from going soggy
4
Slice the chicken breast[s] into thin strips
5
Add the ground coriander, ground allspice, smoked paprika and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to a plate
Mix all the spices together – this is your Caribbean seasoning
Add the chicken strips to the Caribbean seasoning and turn them until they're fully coated in all the spices
6
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 8-9 min or until cooked through, turning occasionally
Once cooked through, remove the pan from the heat, add the soy sauce and give everything a good mix up
7
Meanwhile, add the tortillas to a baking tray
Put them in the oven for 2-3 min or until warmed through
Give the shredded lettuce and mayo a good mix up – this is your lettuce slaw
