Preparation
1
Cook the Rice

a) Boil a half-full kettle. 

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat.

c) Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins. 

d) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pan. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.

2
Fry your Chicken and Veg

a) Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. 

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

c) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and sliced pepper. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

d) Stir-fry until the chicken is browned all over and the pepper is softened, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

3
Add the Fajita Flavour

a) Add the garlic, chipotle paste and tomato puree to the chicken. Stir-fry for 30 secs.

b) Stir in the chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

4
Simmer and Stir

a) Bring the fajita mixture to the boil, then lower the heat.

b) Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

c) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

5
Time to Salsa

a) Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

b) Pop the tomato chunks into a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix together. 

6
Finish and Serve

a) When everything's ready, fluff the rice up with a fork.

b) Taste the chicken fajita mix, season with more salt and pepper if needed, then spoon over the rice.

c) Top with the tomato and a big dollop of soured cream.
