Method
- Mix the lime zest and juice and chilli in a shallow dish. Season, add the chicken and turn to coat; leave to marinate for 10 mins. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to its highest setting and line a baking tray with foil.
- Transfer the chicken to the lined tray, pour over the marinade and grill for 8-10 mins each side or until cooked through with no pink meat remaining.
- Meanwhile, blanch the soya beans in boiling water for 6-7 mins until tender. Heat the rice pouches to pack instructions, then add to a large bowl and leave to cool for a few mins. Add the soya beans, oil, cumin, radishes, rocket leaves and most of the mint. Season to taste, then divide the salad among the plates. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange on top of the salad, spooning over any cooking juices and chillies from the tray. Scatter with the remaining mint and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
