Method
- Preheat the grill to high. Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of cling film and flatten with a rolling pin until about 1cm thick. Remove the cling film, brush with the olive oil, and then grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- While the rice and chicken are cooking, prepare the chilli mayonnaise. Mix the chilli powder, crushed chilli, mayonnaise and half the lemon juice together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Continue to keep an eye on the chicken in the grill, to avoid overcooking.
- When the chicken is cooked, cut it into strips, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining lemon juice.
- Toss the boiled rice, tomatoes, rocket leaves and chicken with the chilli mayonnaise and serve immediately.
