directions

Step 1

For Charmoula mayo, combine mayonnaise, garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne, lemon juice and cilantro. Set aside.

Step 2

Remove “filets” from chicken breast and save for chicken fingers or stir fries. Pound remaining chicken breasts so they are an even thickness.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Rub into chicken on both sides.

Step 4

Brush chicken with olive oil. Grill chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until just cooked through. Serve with Charmoula Mayo and Grill Corn Salsa.

Step 5

Brush corn and onion with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Barbecue onion and corn for a couple of minutes per side, until browned. Cool. Cut kernels off cobs into a large bowl (you should have about 4 cups/1 litre). Dice onion and add to corn. Add arugula. Add Lime Chipotle Dressing.

Step 6

For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together, garlic, lime juice, salt and chipotles. Whisk in olive oil. Add to corn mixture and toss.

Step 7

Arrange corn salsa on each plate. Top with Chicken and serve with Charmoula Mayo.
