Trim excess fat from 900 grams of chicken breast and butterfly each breast into two fillets.

Place chicken in a mixing bowl and add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lime juice.

3

Crush and chop 4 cloves of garlic and add to the bowl.

In a saucepan, combine 300 g jasmine rice with 550 ml cold water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 12 minutes.

8

After 12 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 4 minutes with the lid on.

9

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken fillets, cooking for about 4 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes on the other until cooked through.

10

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

11

Fluff the rice and stir in 1 can of drained black beans, 1 can of drained corn, 5 g chopped coriander, and the zest and juice of half a lime.
