  • Trim green beans and slice into 1 cm pieces. Trim green onions and finely slice the white part and thickly slice the green part (1cm). Quarter baby tomatoes. Roughly chop coriander leaves and pick basil leaves. Juice 1 ½ lime, and cut the remaining half into wedges to serve. Measure out corn kernels.

    Prep and slice green beans, green onions, baby tomatoes, coriander, basil, corn kernels. Juice ¾ the lime.
  • Lay your chicken out on the baking tray, smooth side up and evenly spaced apart, and place under the grill for 5 minutes. If you have kept plain chicken aside add this to the tray now too and drizzle over a little olive oil. If you have different rungs in your grill, put it on the lowest, and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t burn - all grills are a little bit different. After 5 mins flip and continue to cook for another 4 mins.
