Steps
-
Preheat oven to 230oC. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Dice potatoes 2cm and toss with a drizzle of oil, on prepared tray. Season with salt. Bake for about 25 minutes, until tender. Turn once during cooking. While potatoes are cooking, dice tomato 1cm; finely shred lettuce; finely dice onion. Set aside.
-
When potatoes are cooked, remove tray from oven, turn oven grill to high and evenly sprinkle tomato and cheese over potatoes. Return to top rack of oven, to cook a further 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Pat chicken dry. Cut into steaks. To do this, place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a knife to slice through horizontally, to make two thin steaks. Sprinkle first measure of Mexican spice mix over chicken, to coat, then season with salt. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat.
-
Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside to rest. Return pan to the heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook sweetcorn and onion for 3-4 minutes, until tender. Add second measure of Mexican spice mix and cook a further 30 seconds, until fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl.
-
Shred chicken using two forks, then add to bowl with sweetcorn and onion. Add lettuce and mayonnaise, then gently toss to combine and season to taste. In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and sweet chilli sauce (if using).
-
To serve Spoon cheesy potatoes into bowls and top with Mexican pulled chicken. Dollop sour cream on top.
