Instructions

To Start
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cut each breast into 2cm wide strips. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Bread the Chicken
2

a) Crack the egg (see pantry for amount) into a medium bowl and whisk. 

b) Pop the breadcrumbs and Caribbean style jerk into another bowl, then season with salt (see pantry for amount) and pepper.

c) Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they're completely coated. Transfer to a lined baking tray.

Time to Bake
3

a) Drizzle the chicken nuggets with a little oil, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until slightly golden and cooked through, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway throughIMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Prep the Pineapple
4

a) While the chicken nuggets bake, remove the pineapple from the tin (keep the juice for later) and cut into 0.5cm chunks.

b) Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

Make the Pineapple Salsa
5

a) Heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the pineapple chunks to the pan, turning a few times until starting to char, 3-4 mins. 

c) Lower the heat to medium and add in the pineapple juice. Simmer until thickened, 1 min.

d) Add three quarters of the coriander, then remove from the heat.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Once the chicken nuggets are baked, pop them onto your serving plate, drizzle over the mayo, then sprinkle over the remaining coriander.

b) Serve your chicken nuggets with your charred pineapple salsa on the side for dipping.

Enjoy!
