Spicy chicken & bean stew

Really enjoyed this, very tasty and easy and healthy.

Great thrifty easy tea. Followed other reviewers advice and substituted frozen peppers for real, I find frozen ones flavourless and watery- I cooked the onions and peppers for much longer than recommended on a low heat to put some colour on them and for sweetness.We added Harrisa paste and chipotle paste for extra flavour and only used one tin of butter beans.

Mwah... want to like the recipe but have had better chicken stew. Initially quite excited (high rating, simple ingredients, one pot, what’s not to love), but turned out bland even with a few tbs of harissa as someone suggested. Will not make again.

I used skinless, boneless thighs cut in two, substituted cannellini beans for the kidney beans and only used one can of butter beans. Used fresh peppers rather than frozen (I fried them with the onions until softened and starting to caramalise) and used half a little jar of harissa paste I needed to use up to spice it up a bit. Used a bit less stock and went heavy on the fresh coriander. Result - delicious. I suppose with all those changes I am giving five stars to my own recipe really...

My favourite dish to date and an absolute favourite with everyone who has tried it. Definitely the perfect winter warmer and super easy!

It's okay but not mind blowing. I followed the recipe almost exactly, but in the end had to add lots of extra spices to make it taste decent (mostly Ras el Hanout and chilli flakes). In the end the sauce just tastes like poor chilli with chicken.

Excellent result we used chicken breast and worked really well. Nice and thick good wholesome meal. Only issue is when I worked out the calories for our family diet the calorie count was far higher than the portion stated. Only way to reduce to level of calories published was to quarter the quantity of chicken.

Nice winter comfort food. You can stuff this inside a capsicum and bake also. Comes up a treat.

I used skinned, boned chicken thighs, and instead of kidney beans and butter beans, I used a tin of mixed beans in chilli sauce. Can't see the logic of specifying "frozen" peppers so just used a fresh pepper instead. (Basically use whatever peppers you have I say!) I used the two fresh chillis, but also decided to add some Ras El Hanout spice mix to jazz up the flavour a bit. To make it a truly "one pot" meal, I threw in some halved Charlotte potatoes as well. I cooked it on the stove top as per the recipe, but it would work just as well in the oven. No problems with the thickness of the sauce (the potatoes soak up a little in any case.) Very easy to make and chicken thighs are perfect (much better than breast). But I am glad I added the north African spice mix as I feel it would have been a little bland without it.
