Method

1. Cook the rice according to packet instructions, drain, and transfer onto a plate to cool.

2. Meanwhile chop the chicken into cubes, season with salt, pepper, the dry spices and crushed garlic.

3. Heat a non stick pan and fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the chopped onion and diced peppers and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes.

4. Next add the drained corn, beans and the cooked rice, mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

5. Remove from the heat, and add the peeled and diced tomato. Mix. (Tip: To easily peel the tomato, pour boiling water over it for about 1 min, the skin will then easily come off.)

6. To serve, divide the rice between plates, top with avocado, drizzle with fresh lime juice, and sprinkle with chopped chilli and coriander.
