Instructions
- Add 320 g Chicken breast (diced) to a bowl with 0.5 teaspoon Olive oil, 1 tablespoon Chipotle paste and 1 tablespoon Lime juicealt and black pepper.
- Mix until every piece is evenly coated. Let it sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Even 10 minutes helps the flavour soak in.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C/400°F.(if you need to preheat your air fryer).
- Spread the chicken out in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned at the edges.
- Heat 1 teaspoon Olive oil in a large pan and add 2 Bell peppers (sliced) and 1 tablespoon Fajita seasoning. Cook over a medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and lightly charred around the edges.
- Microwave 250 g Brown rice according to the pack instructions, or cook it in a pan.
- Warm 235 g Black beans and 150 g Frozen sweetcorn either together in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until hot. Or cook separately.
- Divide the cooked rice between four bowls. Top with the black beans, sweetcorn, fajita peppers and 2 head Little gem lettuce (chopped). Add the chipotle chicken, then finish with 1 Avocado (sliced), 80 g Pickled red onions, 50 g Light Feta and a100 g 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt. Top with 35 g Pickled jalapeños and 5 g Fresh coriander (cilantro).
Notes
- If you are serving to children or anyone sensitive to heat, keep the chipotle level moderate and offer hot sauce at the table rather than making the whole batch spicier.
- Cut the chicken into even sized pieces so that it all cooks at the same rate.
- o make these black bean and chipotle chicken fajita bowls extra special, make some Chipotle Southwest Sauce to drizzle on top.
