Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 220°C fan bake.

  2. 2

    Add the coriander, jalapenos, garlic, lime juice, sugar, cumin and olive oil to a nutribullet along with 1 tsp flaky sea salt (or ½ tsp fine salt). Blitz together until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the chicken to a large bowl, along with roughly ¾ of the green sauce. Toss together until well coated. Season to taste with salt.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a small, round baking dish.

  5. 5

    Top the chicken with the shaved cheese and drizzle over a little olive oil. Bake on the upper oven rack for about 15 minutes, until golden and bubbling (switch the oven to high grill for the last 2-3 minutes if it needs extra browning).

  6. 6

    Garish with the green chilli and some extra coriander.

  7. 7

    Drizzle over the remaining green sauce to serve.


Notes

Serve in charred tortillas with avocado, cabbage and some salted Greek yoghurt.
