Chicken with a Mexican-inspired salsa

Yesterday I had an exceptionally early start to my day and by 2pm (Spanish lunch time) I was dangerously hungry and also very tired. So cooking time was a great way to unwind and relax.. and eat!! I made what I could with the ingredients I had at home - had Mexican salsa-related ingredients (onion, lime, cilantro, tomatoes) ans chicken too. The result was (happily) delicious. Here it is!!

Yesterday I had an exceptionally early start to my day and by 2pm (Spanish lunch time) I was dangerously hungry and also very tired. So cooking time was a great way to unwind and relax.. and eat!!

Steps
- 1
Chop onion and coriander and halve the cherry tomatoes
- 2
Heat some oil in a large pan. Add the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes
- 3
Add the chicken fillets
- 4
If you have more than fit in the pan, take the first batch out and reserve while cooking the next one. Add a little salt to the second batch
- 5
Once the chicken fillets are cooked and waiting on a plate (put the plate in a warm oven (80° is fine) so they don't go cold) add the rest of the ingredients to the pan. Squeeze all the juice from the limes and be generous with.the slosh of wine
- 6
And heat gently for ten minutes
- 7
When the tomatoes are soft, put the salsa in a bowl and put.the chicken fillets back in the pan
- 8
Add the salsa
- 9
Cover and leave over minimum heat for five minutes so that all the ingredients can share their flavours
- 10
This is what your chicken should look like after those 5 mins (if it looks different don't worry - it'll taste great!!)
- 11
I made some pasta too. Added a slosh of mild soy sauce, the chicken and some fresh coriander. Noodles or rice would work fine too. Hope you enjoy :-)
