Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air and boil a kettle

Add your spelt to a pot of boiling water and bring to the boil over a high heat, cook for 20 min or until tender (it will still have a slight bite when cooked)

Once cooked, drain and return to the pot

Step 1
2.

Meanwhile, peel and finely slice your red onion[s]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Cut your green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Chop your tomato[es] finely

Step 2
3.

Add 1/4 of the sliced onion (you'll use the rest later!) to a small bowl with your cider vinegar

Add a pinch of sugar and set aside to pickle – this is your pickled onion

Step 3
4.

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add your diced chicken breast and remaining sliced onion and cook for 5-6 min or until the chicken is lightly golden

Once lightly golden, add the chopped garlic with your ground coriander, ground paprika and tomato paste and give everything a good mix up

Cook for 30 secs or until fragrant

Step 4
5.

Once fragrant, add your black beans (no need to drain!) and all the bean water with 100ml [130ml] [170ml] boiled water

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 6-8 min or until thickened and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)

Step 5
6.

Add the chopped tomato and chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the bowl with the pickled onion and mix it all together – this is your salsa

Step 6
7.

Once thickened, add the cooked spelt to the beans

Add your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and cook for 1 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add your chicken stock mix with a very generous pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar and some of the pickling liquid from the salsa

Give everything a good mix up, then leave to stand for 2-3 min for the flavours to develop – this is your chipotle chicken breast & black bean spelt

Step 7
8.

Serve the chipotle chicken breast & black bean spelt topped with the salsa

Crumble your feta over the top

Enjoy!
