Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, stock powder, half the Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining into wedges.
  • Thinly slice green onions.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Core, then thinly slice jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños!)
Make creamy green sauce and marinate chicken
3
  • To a tall-sided container or measuring glass, add yogurt, mayo, lime juice, cilantro, half the jalapeño, half the green onions, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Season with pepper. 
  • Using a handheld blender, blend for 1-2 min, until smooth. (Note: If you don't have a handheld blender, transfer mixture to a regular blender.)
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. To a shallow dish, add chicken, remaining Chili-Cumin Spice Blend and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) creamy green sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Cook chicken
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and chicken. Cook for 2-3 min per side until golden. Transfer to an unlined baking sheet.
  • Roast in the top of the oven for 5-8 min, until cooked through.**
  • Rinse out pan.
Cook corn and finish prep
5
  • Heat the same pan over medium. 
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan for 1 min, until melted. Add corn, remaining jalapeño and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Cover and cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumbers. Season with salt and pepper directly on the cutting board.
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in corn mixture, lime zest, remaining green onions and any chicken resting juices.
  • Divide rice, chicken and cucumbers between plates.
  • Drizzle remaining creamy green sauce over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
