Method
step 1
Cook the rice in a large pan of lightly salted water for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain well and cool.
step 2
To make the dressing, put the mango and rice vinegar into a food processor with 2 tbsp of cold water, and whizz until smooth. It should be a drizzle-able consistency.
step 3
Heat a griddle pan to very hot. Put the chicken breasts between two pieces of clingfilm and use a rolling pin to gently tap to an even 1cm thickness. Drizzle with vegetable oil and season generously.
step 4
Griddle the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until grill-marked and cooked through. Put onto a plate to rest for 2 minutes, then slice.
step 5
Put the cucumber, radishes, red pepper, mango and ¾ of the coriander into a bowl, and toss with ½ of the dressing and the cool rice. Pile onto plates, and top with the remaining coriander, chicken and sesame seeds, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
