Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 180g (6.5 oz) chicken breast, in 2cm / 3/4in cubes
  • 70g (1/3 cup) white rice, dry
  • 15g (2 tsp) honey
  • 70g (1/3 cup) black beans, drained
  • 40g (1/4 cup) corn
  • 30g (2 tbsp) Greek yogurt, 0%
  • 2 tsp (10ml) olive oil
  • 140ml (generous 1/2 cup) water, for the rice
  • 1 tsp chipotle paste, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

10 ingredients, each with the gram weight the macros above were computed from.

Method

  1. Cook the rice in the 140ml water: boil, cover, lowest heat 10 min, rest 10 min.
  2. Stir the honey, chipotle paste, paprika and lime juice together in a cup.
  3. Pat the chicken cubes dry, season with the salt and sear in the oil over high heat 5-6 min until browned and 74C / 165F.
  4. Take the pan off the heat before the glaze goes in - honey scorches on a searing-hot surface.
  5. Pour the glaze in and toss 1 min on the residual heat until every piece is lacquered.
  6. Warm the beans and corn in the same pan for 2 min.
  7. Serve over the rice with the yogurt spooned on to cut the heat.

How Plus works

Tip: the yogurt is doing the job sour cream does at a burrito counter, at a fifth of the fat and with protein attached. Do not skip it - chipotle and honey together need something cold.
