Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To get the perfect 'blackened' crust, ensure your skillet is smoking hot before adding the chicken, and do not move the strips for the first 2 minutes to allow a proper crust to form.

Tip 2 of 2

For the best avocado presentation, use a firm but ripe fruit and slice it thinly while still in the skin before scooping out to fan it perfectly over the rice.
