Chicken, Kale & Black Bean Stew With Feta

"Mexican food isn't always healthy, but this spicy stew is an absolute winner. It's protein packed from lean chicken breast, and the giant couscous and fibre-rich black beans make it super filling. Leafy green kale gives a bit of extra goodness! Serve with a sprinkling of feta and fresh coriander."
