Griddled chicken with rice and mango salad
Check out this easy griddled chicken breast with sweet-juicy mango dressing and rice.
Ingredients
- 80 g rice
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1/2 cucumber peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1 handful radishes quartered
- 1/2 red pepper diced
- 1/2 very ripe mango diced
- 1 bunch coriander leaves torn
- toasted sesame seeds to serve
Instructions
- Cook the rice in a large pan of lightly salted water for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain well and cool.
- To make the dressing, put the mango and rice vinegar into a food processor with 2 tbsp of cold water, and whizz until smooth. It should be a drizzle-able consistency.
- Heat a griddle pan to very hot. Put the chicken breasts between two pieces of clingfilm and use a rolling pin to gently tap to an even 1cm thickness. Drizzle with vegetable oil and season generously.
- Griddle the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until grill-marked and cooked through. Put onto a plate to rest for 2 minutes, then slice.
- Put the cucumber, radishes, red pepper, mango and ¾ of the coriander into a bowl, and toss with ½ of the dressing and the cool rice. Pile onto plates, and top with the remaining coriander, chicken and sesame seeds, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
