Method

  1. 1

    Butterfly or flatten the chicken breast slightly for even cooking, then coat all over with the Cajun seasoning and half the olive oil.

  2. 2

    Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes each side until charred and cooked through. Rest for 2 minutes, then slice.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, dry-fry the sweetcorn in a separate small pan over high heat for 3–4 minutes until lightly charred.

  4. 4

    Stir the charred corn through the salsa with the remaining olive oil and a squeeze of lime.

  5. 5

    Serve the sliced chicken with the corn salsa spooned over.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 150 g chicken breast and ½ lime. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.
