Chipotle BBQ Chicken and Bean One Pot

While the rice is cooking, drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve.

Grate the Cheddar cheese. 

Halve the avocado and remove the stone. Use a tablespoon to scoop the flesh out onto a board, face-down. Slice into 1cm thick slices.

Put a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

Stir in the chipotle paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), tomato puree, black beans, chicken stock paste, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Once combined, stir in the diced chicken. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Bring the stew to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 13-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Once the stew has finished simmering, mix the BBQ sauce and butter (see pantry for amount) into the pan until combined and melted.

Add the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Remove from the heat and taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
