Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the onions in the oil for 5 mins until they become soft and start to colour. Add the chorizo and fry for a few mins more. Stir in the peppers, then pour in the tomatoes, followed by a can of water, the stock cubes, chilli and oregano.
  2. Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the sauce, pushing them under the liquid. Bring to a simmer, cover, then cook in the oven for 40 mins. Add the beans, stir, then cook for 20 mins more. You can make this up to 2 days ahead and keep chilled.
  3. To serve, reheat on the top of the stove or in the oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 1 hr 10 mins until piping hot. Stir in most of the coriander, toss the rest with the avocado, lime and a little salt, then pile this on top. Serve with Garlic & oregano bread (below) and a bag of green salad tossed with olives, cherry tomatoes and finely sliced red onion.

Why not try... Garlic & oregano bread

Beat 250g soft salted butter with an electric hand whisk until creamy, then beat in 6 crushed garlic cloves and 2 tsp dried oregano. Thickly slice 2 long French bread sticks on the diagonal, then sandwich the slices back together with the garlic butter to reform the loaf. Wrap each loaf in foil. Heat in the oven at 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 for 25 mins until the bread is hot and the butter has melted.

    As many have posted, the sauce is quite watery so I cooked it uncovered when the kidney beans went in. I scooped away some of the excess sauce for a bowl of soup the next day and thickened the remainder with cornflour. I also used kidney beans in chilli sauce for an extra kick. I was really impressed with the dish. Very very tasty and not too spicy at all, despite the name.

    Delicious with rice. Left out the chilli and avocado, made it with breast meat. Everyone enjoyed it.... makes a change from using mince.

    Made this for a mid week tea, made the night before too. Changed the quantities as follows which i would say serves 5/6- 150g chorizo (to reduce calories), 2.5 peppers plus 1 chargrilled pepper from jar(what i had in the cupboard), 750g chicken breast cut into large chunks, 1 can kidney beans and half a can of water as suggested, the rest of the ingredients i kept the same. The result was lovely. My husband heated it up on the day and thickened it up with a few gravy granules and also some cornflour. I fried the chorizo then then the onions as suggested which was a great tip. Didn't bother with the avocado or coriander. I served with homemade garlic bread just like the recipe! Will definitely make again especially if entertaining!

    This is fab, fry the chorizo first and it's great! Lovely recipe! Freezes well but the chicken does break up on reheating but still great

    I didn't really think that this was worth the effort. The sauce was really runny and I've had tastier meal that are much quicker to make. I added celery and mushrooms as it seemed to lack something. I also think garlic would've been a good addition. All of the ingredients in this are better fresher and cooking it in the oven seemed unnecessary.

    Made this dish for a family gathering yesterday. It was a great success. We had to cater for 16 people and as my largest pans would only hold enough for 8 servings I made two batches, I made one batch with peppers as per the recipe but replaced these with mushrooms for the remaining batch, (we had a guest who dislikes peppers) Both versions were delicious. This recipe is so straight forward, nothing can go wrong, I was amazed at the depth of flavour achieved with so few ingredients. I did add a fresh finely chopped chilli for an extra little kick. Another good thing was being able to cook it the day before so just had to heat it up. The Avocado, lime and coriander complimented the dish perfectly. A couple of guest asked for the recipe, a compliment if ever there was one.

    Absolutely delicious! I always have to make huge quantities for the evening meal as I have seven children and a very hungry husband and I'm forever trying to keep the food shopping budget down without compromising on quality and taste! You've hit the nail on the head, sometimes hard to please all of my family as the age ranges are 12 months to 17 years old but there was silence at the dinner table and the plates were virtually licked clean of every scrumptious morsel. I did add some tomato puree to make the sauce a bit richer and I left it in a low oven for 3 hours so it reduced beautifully! I also cut the chicken into bite sized pieces prior to cooking for ease of eating with the little ones. Served with steamed white rice (it was almost a gumbo) and minus the avocado, this will definitely be making a regular appearance! Would highly recommend!

    Took the advice from previous posters and used very little water for a thicker sauce. I also substituted cannellini beans for kidney beans. I was very pleased with the result and will be cooking it again soon.
