  Very tasty and easy supper, the shredded chicken works really well and soaks up the flavours. I couldn't find chipotle paste so just used a hot pepper sauce. Next time I'll add more and make it a bit hotter! Served with wholegrain rice instead of quinoa as I felt lazy. I will be making this again, it's a good easy recipe to have up your sleeve!

  Quick, easy with a wonderful warm smokey chilli flavour. It is a fantastic alternative to chilli con carne. Will definately cook again for us and friends.

  I made this the other day and was dubious as to whether it would do for 5 as in my head 4 chicken breasts = 4 servings, but once it was shredded it made more than enough. I got the Chipotle paste from Waitrose (get me) in a wee jar. I dunno if it equated to 3 tbsp but it had a kick alright! Easy peasy anaw.

  Made this last night and it went down very well with my family. I to did not use Quinoa, will next time. I substituted with whole grain brown rice and added the beans etc. it was a really nice change! I also added some dry chilli flakes to the recipe just to give an extra kick. Tip for anyone struggling to find Chipolte paste, sold in Asda and the brand is Discovery. Will find it with Mexican range. Well worth getting because it gives a lovely depth to the flavour. Served with garlic ciabatta bread to, yummy. Will definitely make this again and try the Quinoa.

  This was as simple, straightforward and specactular as others have said. I made half the amount: one serving for the freezer and one for my husband's supper. (I'm a veggie.) I am told it tasted just as good as it looked and was "absolutely delicious". No chipotle available so I used a combination of fajita seasoning and peperoncini in olive oil. "Perfect," apparently. Also substituted a mix of white and wholegrain basmati rice for the quinoa and as I had some with my vegetables I can vouch for the fact that that was perfect too. A great recipe in all respects, and will definitely use again.

  I really liked this recipe as it was very easy. Never used quinoa or chipotle paste before. Really liked the quinoa made a change from rice especially with the beans mixed in. The chipotle paste was hot, though probably won't use three tbs next time!

  I made this last night, so simple and quick to prepare but really tasty! I couldn't find chipotle paste in Tesco anywhere :-( but found a chilli con carne paste made with chipotle paste and this gave a really smoky flavour. I added a couple of chillies to the onions and threw in some mange tout at the end of cooking. Really lovely, quick, tasty and healthy. Plenty left over for my lunch today mmm!

  Great tasting and easy meal. Used tin of kidney beans in chilli sauce instead of pinto beans as could only get dried ones and not enough time to soak them. Also used hot sauce instead of chipotle sauce. Lovely, definitely a new one for my repertoire.

  Great recipe but try adding some red wine to the disc to increase the flavour.

  Absolutely delicious! I used butter beans as I needed to use them up and forgot to add the sugar but it was fantastic nonetheless I served with pitta chips, grated cheese and sour cream. Definately be making this again. I found chipotle paste in the mexican area of the world foods aisle at Asda.
