Method

  • step 1

    Mix the lime zest and juice, half the mint, 1 tsp oil and season. Pour over the chicken and leave to marinate for 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.

  • step 2

    Cook the rice in boiling salted water until tender. Drain and rinse well under cold water, and leave to cool while you cook the chicken. Heat a grill pan to hot and sear the chicken for 4 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

  • step 3

    Toss the cooled rice with the mango, onion, coriander, and pepper. Add the remaining mint. Cut the rind and pith off the remaining lime half and cut into segments. Tip into the bowl with any lime juice on the chopping board. Season and toss everything together. Slice the chicken and serve with the wild rice salad.
