TO SERVE

Directions

1
Combine all of the ‘salsa’ ingredients in a large mixing bowl then place to one side.
2
Horizontally slice both chicken breasts right through the centre to create 4 even-sized breasts. Coat both sides with the Cajun seasoning.
3
Heat 1 tbsp oil and butter in a large pan over medium-high heat then add the chicken. Fry for around 3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred and just about cooked through the centre. Remove and place on a plate to one side to rest for a couple of minutes. Melt the 2nd tbsp of butter in the pan to collect all the leftover flavour.
4
For the rice just mix in the black beans, lime juice and coriander/cilantro. You can also mix in any resting juices from the chicken.
5
To serve, place the chicken next to the rice and drizzle over some of the butter in the pan. Top with salsa and few lashings of hot sauce if desired.
