Crispy Chicken Chipotle Rice Bowl with Lime, Coriander & Garlic Dressing

Crispy Chicken Chipotle Rice Bowl with Lime, Coriander & Garlic Dressing

Ingredients | Serves 2: 

  • 1 pouch of Nice Rice Smoky Chipotle
  • 4 chicken thighs (skin on deboned)
  • 1 tbsp chipotle paste
  • 1 avocado (sliced or diced)
  • A small bunch of fresh coriander (roughly chopped, including stalks)
  • 2 limes (juice and zest of 1, the other cut into wedges)
  • 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or Gas Mark 6.

  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with kitchen paper. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Place the chicken thighs in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the thighs over and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. Brush the chicken thighs with the chipotle paste and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

  5. In a blender or small food processor, combine the Greek yoghurt, juice and zest of 1 lime, most of the coriander (reserve a little for garnish). Blitz until smooth. Add a splash of water to help blend if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust lime juice to your liking for more tang. 

  6. Heat the Chipotle Rice pouch according to the package instructions. 

  7. Divide the warmed rice between two serving bowls.

  8. Slice the roasted chicken thighs and place them on top of the rice. Add sliced avocado to each bowl and drizzle over the dressing. 

  9. Sprinkle the reserved coriander on top. Enjoy!
