Instructions

Before you start

  1. Preheat oven to 220 °C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Cook potatoes

  1. Peel and mince 4 cloves garlic. Using a sharp knife, make crosswise cuts in each potato, about .5 cm apart, careful not to cut all the way through. Toss the potatoes, half of the garlic and 1 tbsp olive oil on the prepared tray then spread potatoes out, cut side up. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp Mexican seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Place into oven and roast until tender and crisp, about 20-25 minutes.

Cook chicken

  1. Combine 1 tbsp Mexican seasoning and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Put 400 g chicken breast flat on a board, put your hand on top and halve horizontally into fillets. Add the chicken to the oil mixture and turn to coat. Heat a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and rest for 3 minutes, before slicing.

Cook corn

  1. Remove the husk and silks from 3 corn on cob, then slice the corn off the cob (if using). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan over high heat. Add the remaining garlic and stir for 10 seconds. Add the corn kernels and cook for 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until you get lovely golden brown bits and the corn is tender (don't stir constantly).

Make salad

  1. Roughly chop 1 bunch coriander. Peel and finely dice 1 red onion. Juice 1 lime. Transfer corn into a large bowl. Add coriander, red onion, 2 tbsp of lime juice, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream and finely grate in ½ cup parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.

To serve

  1. Divide the Mexican chicken & creamy corn salad among plates with the mini hasselback potatoes on the side.
