Method

  1. First up, blend all the sauce ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped and Finely slice the spring onions.
  2. Cut the broccoli into 1 inch pieces and give it a wash. Cook however you like, I just popped in a deli container and microwaved for 90 seconds. Such a hack.
  3. Season the chicken well with salt and get into a really hot pan. Add a weight on top and cook 90% of the way through on one side to get a wicked crust. Flip and cook through. Remove from the pan.
  4. Add sauce into the pan, and scape up all the nice bits on the bottom and reduce until slightly sticky. Add the spring onions, any resting juices and a squeeze of lime to taste.
  5. Slice the chicken and plate up. Rice, broccoli and chicken. Sauce over the chicken and finish with the basil and a wedge of lime.
