Cooking Steps
a) Boil a full kettle. Trim and cut the green beans into thirds.
b) Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
c) Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan with ½ tsp salt.
d) Add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-18 mins.
a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) Once hot, add the diced chicken and green beans to the pan and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.
c) Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
d) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
a) Once the chicken has browned, add the garlic and Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Stir-fry for 1 min.
b) Stir in the passata, chicken stock paste and sugar (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer.
c) Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked, stir through the creme fraiche and hard Italian style cheese.
b) Season with salt and pepper.
c) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted, 1-2 mins.
a) Meanwhile, once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.
b) Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth.
c) Season with salt and pepper.
a) When everything's ready, spoon the creamy tomato Cajun chicken into your bowls.
b) Serve the mash alongside.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The Cajun sauce is well-regarded for its bold, smoky depth, with many finding the spice level just right; those sensitive to heat suggest using half the spice mix.
- Ease of prep: Most find this quick and straightforward to pull together, though some note it takes a little longer than the stated time.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers preferred pasta or rice over mash, finding it a more natural pairing with the Cajun sauce; adding a tin of chopped tomatoes or extra vegetables can help bulk out the dish.
- Next-day meals: Leftover sauce works well stirred through pasta, and one reviewer noted the recipe stretched comfortably across two evenings plus a lunch.
- Portions: Some felt the chicken quantity was on the lighter side; adding extra chicken is easy as the sauce is generous enough to accommodate it.
