Method

Mix the lime zest and juice and the chilli in a shallow dish. Season, add the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside for 10 mins to marinate. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to its highest setting and line a baking tray with foil.
Transfer the chicken to the lined tray, pour over the marinade and grill for 8-10 mins each side or until cooked through with no pink meat remaining.
Meanwhile, blanch the soya beans in boiling water for 6-7 mins until tender. Heat the rice and quinoa pouches to pack instructions, then mix with the soya beans, cumin, radishes, rocket leaves and most of the mint. Season to taste. Divide the salad between 4 plates. Slice the chicken breasts, place on top of the salad and scatter over the remaining mint.
