Method
-
Marinate the chicken. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks. Add ½ pouch of Lucky Taco Smoky Chipotle Marinade and toss until lightly coated.
-
Brown the chicken. Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large cast iron pot over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and brown for approximately 5 minutes, working in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.
-
Build the flavour. Add the onion, carrots and capsicums to the same pot. Cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the crushed garlic and stir.
-
Spice things up. Add the smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, ground chilli powder (if using) and Lucky Taco Chilli Salt. Stir for 30 seconds until beautifully fragrant.
-
Get simmering. Return the chicken to the pot. Add the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock. Stir well, cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
-
Bring on the beans. Add the drained chickpeas and cannellini beans. Stir through and simmer for another 20–25 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
-
Go green. Stir in the whole bag of baby spinach and allow it to wilt into the stew. Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
-
Serve it up. Ladle into bowls and top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
