Instructions

Cook the Chicken
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

c) Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Fry, turning frequently, until browned all over, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Get Prepped
2

a) While the chicken cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve, then put half of them into a bowl and roughly mash with a fork. Add the remaining whole beans to the bowl.

c) Drain the sweetcorn in the sieve.

Add the Spice
3

a) Once the chicken is browned, stir in the Mexican style spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), sweetcorn and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 min.

b) Pour in the finely chopped tomatoes (see ingredients for amount), water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), chicken stock paste and beans (whole and mashed), then stir to combine.

Simmer and Grate
4

a) Season the sauce with salt, pepper and sugar (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, stirring continuously, then reduce the heat to medium.

b) Simmer until the mixture has thickened and the chicken is cooked, 6-8 mins. Stir every 2 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

c) While the stew simmers, grate the cheese.

Make the Garlic Ciabatta
5

a) Halve the ciabatta and lay onto a baking tray, cut-side up.

b) Spread over the remaining garlic and drizzle with the olive oil for the garlic bread (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper.

c) Bake the garlic bread on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 5-6 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Once the stew is cooked, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

b) Remove from the heat, then taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

c) Serve your stew bowls with the cheese scattered on top and the garlic ciabatta alongside.

Enjoy!
