Method
- Add the chicken and seasoning ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and seasoned chicken and sear for 5–6 minutes, or until golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Remove from the pan and set aside. Do this in batches if needed.
- Add the washed jasmine rice, chicken stock, and a pinch of salt to the same pan. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 12 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered for 4 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a spatula. Set aside.
- Add all of the creamy lime sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Season to taste. If you have a squeeze bottle, transfer the sauce to it.
- Serve the rice on one side of 5 x 750ml meal prep containers and the chicken on the other. Add half a sliced avocado to each container and squeeze over the creamy lime sauce. Garnish with coriander and a lime wedge, if using. Dig in.
