Difficulty: 1/3
Caribbean

This recipe is easy to make and only has three key components that will have you falling in love. Number one is a coconutty rice to cushion the second best seller of this dish, a corn and spinach salsa. Finally, the heartthrob, a succulent serving of chicken coated in apricot sauce. *The recent wet and cold weather across New Zealand has impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!*

Preparation

1

• In a medium saucepan, add coconut milk, water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. • Remove pan from heat, then add apricot sauce and water (for the sauce) and turn chicken to coat. • In a second medium bowl, combine sweetcorn, cucumber, baby spinach and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
