Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Arrange the chicken, peppers, red onions and baby corn on the tray, and spoon over the chipotle paste. Season, then toss to combine. Put the lime halves on the tray, cut-side down, then drizzle the oil over the chicken and veg. Roast for 20 mins, or until everything is cooked through.
step 2

Meanwhile, warm the beans in a small pan over a low heat, and season. Mix the beans with half the coriander and the lime zest, then squeeze over the juice of the roasted lime. Slice the chicken thinly on the diagonal and divide between four bowls along with the veg and brown rice. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and serve with the salsa.

Recipe tip

Twist it

Veggie fajita rice bowl with burnt lime: Swap out the chicken for 2 blocks of halloumi, thickly sliced, or 4 falafels per person in step 1, adding them to the spiced peppers, onions and baby corn 10 mins before the end of cooking in step 1.
