Chicken Stew with Red Kidney Beans and Sweet Peppers
"Sometimes, a quick meal after a long day is just the trick. I often need quick meals after a long day of cooking for others. But quick meals don't have to be boring and this dish is a weekly favourite in our home. Heartwarming and satisfying rich tomato sauce with red kidney beans, spices, herbs and chicken." - Lerato
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Line a tray with foil. Season chicken with 2/3rds of the paprika, black pepper and brush with oil. Grill for 10 minutes in a preheated oven or roast at 180°C - 200°C fan depending on the strength of your oven. Turn the chicken half way through cooking.
Step 2
Place a large casserole dish onto the stove and add a splash of oil. Add the onions for 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic, ginger and peppers.
Step 3
Add your remaining dry spices and thyme, stir and leave to cook for a minute before adding the chopped tomatoes. Fill the tin with 300ml of water (for 4 people), or stock cube dissolved in water if not using powder like I do, and add this in as well. Stir well and leave to cook covered on medium heat for 10 minutes.
Step 4
10 minutes should be up and you can now add the chicken into the stew along with any juices from the cooked chicken. Add the red kidney beans, season with salt and stir.
Step 5
Cook for another 10 minutes, garnish with your favourite fresh herbs like coriander.
Step 6
Serve with rice, greens or your favourite vegetables.
