Mushrooms

450 g, sliced

Santa Maria Chipotle Paste

2 serving(s)

Tinned Tomatoes

2 can(s), large

Granulated sugar

Chicken breast, skinless, raw

Couscous, dry

Lime Juice, Fresh

40 ml

Instructions

  1. Mist a large pan with cooking spray and put over a medium heat. Add the onions and peppers and cook for 3–4 minutes until starting to soften. You may have to add a splash of water to stop the mixture catching.
  2. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden. Stir in the chipotle paste and cook for a further minute.
  3. Add the tomatoes, then fill the can with water and add this to the pan with the sugar, tomato purée, paprika and cayenne. Season.
  4. Put the chicken in the pan and push under the sauce until submerged. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, put the couscous in a bowl and pour over the hot stock and cumin. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Fluff up the grains with a fork, then stir in half the coriander and all the lime juice.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove the stew from the heat and transfer the chicken to a board. Using two forks, shred the chicken and return to the pan. Put back on the hob and simmer for 5 minutes, then add the remaining coriander.
  7. Ladle the stew into bowls and serve with the couscous and soured cream.
