Method

  1. Pull the skin off the chicken and discard. Heat the oil in a large casserole dish, brown the chicken all over, then remove with a slotted spoon. Tip in the onions, garlic and chillies, then fry for 5 mins until starting to soften and turn golden.
  2. Add the peppers, tomatoes, beans and hot stock. Put the chicken back on top, half-cover with a pan lid and cook for 50 mins, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Stir through the coriander and serve with soured cream and crusty bread.

    Cooked this tonight and it was lovely. Might spice it a bit more next time (did full quantity for 2 of us so there is extra in freezer ;-0).

    Started this morning by slow cooking the chicken with a cup of veg stock, so by 4 hrs it was falling off the bone with 600ml dish full of gorgeous chicken stock. Found this recipe and wow, its transformed into a wonderful flavoursome nutritional dinner. Many thanks to Good Food.

    Love it! Changed it a fair bit though... Did it for 2 people and so only used one can mixed beans and less pepper. Added mushrooms, some leftover squash and some dried apricots too. Also added some turmeric for extra spice. We also had some left over chicken from a roast and so added that in at the end! Beautiful with a dollop of greek yogurt and no base needed! Lovely base recipe.
