Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150℃/Gas Mark 2
- In a frying pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and fry the chicken until it has taken on some colour. Then remove it from the frying pan and set aside. Depending on the size of frying pan, I recommend you fry the chicken in batches.
- In the casserole dish add the remaining olive oil and fry the onions until they start to soften then add and fry the red pepper strips until both onions and red peppers are soft.
- Place the chicken, onion and red pepper into the casserole dish. Add the remaining ingredients except the black beans - garlic, cumin seeds, oregano, chipotle paste, sugar stock pot, passata and water.
- Season with a little black pepper, stir and cook with the lid on for one hour.
- After the hour, remove from the oven and shred the chicken with two forks. Add the black beans, stir and pop in the oven for the final 15 minutes.
Notes
Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge once cool. Best served with rice, topped off with fresh coriander and a few slices of avocado plus tortilla chips on the side. Freeze on the day of making.
For speed, no need to fry the chicken before cooking. Fry the onions and pepper to soften, then add the chicken and the other ingredients before placing in the oven.
