Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Halve the peppers and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and thinly slice the spring onions. Cut the lime into wedges. Drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve.

Roast the Peppers
2

Pop the peppers onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat then spread out in a single layer. Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until golden and soft, 15-17 mins.

Start the Stew
3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the red onion and diced chicken breast. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging. Add the garlic, chipotle paste, smoked paprika and tomato puree and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. TIP: Add less chipotle paste if you don't like spice. Add the chopped tomatoes with the vegetable stock paste and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the mixed beans. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins. Stir occasionally. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Tortilla Chips
4

While the stew cooks, make the tortilla chips - using some clean scissors, cut each tortilla into eight triangles. Place the chips on a baking tray and drizzle over some oil. Season with salt and pepper, then spread them out in a single layer. Bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 4-5 mins. TIP: Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.

Finish the Stew
5

Once the peppers are roasted, add them to the stew and stir them through. Add a splash of water to loosen if you need to. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Crumble the feta into small pieces.

Serve
6

Divide the stew between bowls and top with the feta and sliced spring onion. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and tortilla chips alongside for dipping. Enjoy!

7

Step 3 MOD: If you have added diced chicken breast to your recipe, add it to the pan when you add the onion. Continue with the recipe as instructed. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
