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 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
  • Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Zest, then juice clementine.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Core, then finely chop jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping jalapeños.)
  • In a small bowl, combine clementine zest, garlic, half the Tex-Mex paste, half the cilantro and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. 
Season and cook chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.)
  • Cook for 1-2 min per side, until golden. Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Spread clementine mixture over top of chicken.  
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until cooked through.**
Prep and cook veggies
4
  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then thinly slice onion. Finely chop a quarter of the sliced onions.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then sliced onions and peppers. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
  • Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Make sauce
5
  • Reheat the same pan over medium, then add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, chopped onions and half the jalapeños. (TIP: Like things spicy? Add more jalapeños!) Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 min, until softened.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add clementine juice, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lime juice, remaining Tex-Mex paste, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Simmer for 2-3 min, until sauce reduces slightly.
  • Remove from heat, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl the pan until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish & serve
6
  • Thinly slice chicken. Stir any chicken juices from the baking sheet into the pan of sauce.
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lime zest.
  • Divide rice between bowls.
  • Top with chicken and veggies, then drizzle sauce over top. 
  • Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
  • Sprinkle with remaining jalapeños, if you like. 
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
