Instructions

Roast the Chicken
1

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

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, lay the chicken into the pan, skin-side down. Sprinkle over the Mexican style spice mix. Season with salt and pepper. Fry until golden, 5-6 mins, then turn and cook for 1 min on the other side.

Transfer the chicken to a baking tray, skin-side up, and roast on the top shelf until cooked, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Croutons
2

While the chicken cooks, trim the baby gem, halve lengthways, then thinly slice. 

Halve the bell pepper, discard the core and seeds, then slice into thin strips. Grate the cheese

Tear the ciabatta into roughly 2cm chunks and pop them onto another baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat well.

About 10 mins before the chicken is ready, pop the croutons onto the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 8-10 mins.

Char the Veg
3

Meanwhile, drain the sweetcorn in a sieve. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the sweetcorn and sliced pepper and cook until charred, 5-6 mins. 

Adjust the heat if necessary. Stir only twice during this time - you want the veg to pick up some nice colour.

Finish the Prep
4

While everything cooks, in a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and set the dressing aside. 

Once the veg has charred, remove the pan from the heat. 

Time to Combine
5

Once the chicken is cooked, cut widthways into 2cm slices.

Add the baby gem, charred veg and croutons to the dressing bowl, toss together.

Serve
6

Share the salad between your serving bowls, then top with the sliced chicken

Sprinkle over the cheese and finish by drizzling over the mayo (see pantry for amount).
