Chipotle chicken with salsa
Smoky and gently spiced chipotle-marinated chicken breast pairs wonderfully with a fresh salsa made of tomatoes, sweetcorn, and red kidney beans. The zesty lime juice cuts through the warmth of the cumin and chilli, creating a beautifully balanced plate. For the best flavour, let the chicken marinate for a few hours before cooking.
