  Really good, I added extra chilli as we like our food spicy and worked great. Loved by entire family, and so easy to make.

  Really easy, quick and tasty, the shredding of the chicken makes there appear to be more than there is which is good for those with a big appetite!

  Tried and tested, really good! If you dont get the paste (like me-I forgot) add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed chilli's and a good old slosh of chilli sauce and you still get a kick :)

  I couldn't find the chipotle paste anywhere! I used smoked paprika and chilli instead and it was nice, but I would really like to try the paste. If anyone knows where I can get it I would be really grateful.

  We've just had this for dinner and all enjoyed it. I couldn't get any chipotle paste, but I did manage to get some actual chipotle chillies in Tescos. The flavour is lovely and smoky, but I think you could probably reproduce it with dried chilli and smoked paprika if you couldn't get chipotles. A word of warning though - chipotle chillies are dried and smoked jalapenos and our stew was much spicier than I expected. Will make this again and maybe scape the seeds out next time!

  Really good - used 2 tsps of chipolte paste (for 2 people) but next time might also add a chilli for extra spicyness.

  really quick, easy & tasty! I halved the recipe to serve 2 - next time I would increase the chipotle paste as it didn't really have any kick (even for my mild palate!). Going to experiment with the paste & attempt a chipotle, roast aubergine & tomato pasta sauce!

  Made a batch today for freezing, tried a sample (you have to!) and it is lovely. Really nice smoky flavour with a touch of heat. I used 2 tsp of the paste.

  Don't know what I did wrong. I was really looking forward to this but found it over tomatoey and quite boring. I didn't have chipotle paste either so as the previous poster did, I too used chilli and smoked paprika

  I made this last night. It was simple to make and really tasty. I couldn't find the paste so used 1tsp hot chilli powder and 1/2tsp cumin. I served with rice and crushed tortillas on top.

  I normally love all the recipies that I try on this website, but not this one. I can't say that it was 'bad' just disappointing. Maybe it is because none of my local supermarkets stock the past so I just used chilli and tomato past and one tsp of smoked paprika - also didnt go down to well with the kids who normally enjoy wraps.

  This is a delicious, low fat and quick and easy recipe for in the week - before we eventually tracked down chipotle paste in Waitrose, we used a packet of fajita seasoning mix instead which worekd well. When using the chipotle paste, I use a tablespoon rather than teaspoon for a decent kick. I serve this with a wholemeal toasted pitta bread to keep it healthy and filling. Yum!

  This recipe is an absolute gem! Ideal for a meal with friends or as part of a hot buffet. It's so so easy! Like many I struggled to find the chipotle paste, but people in the North West who live near a Booths supermarket and larger Sainsbury's also stock the discovery brand. That said, I think the many variations that not being able to find this ingredient brings out, is one of its charms. I used mild chilli powder, half a teaspoon of lazy chillies (for the kick) and then put in chopped Chorizo sausage with the chicken to give the nice smoky flavour. I also find using extra tinned tomatoes instead of liquid helps give a more thicker and richer sauce too. Yum!
