Our recipe developers say the best part of their job is knowing that people really do cook and enjoy their recipes. It makes all the hard work worthwhile! And so, in honour of one of our youngest fans, please enjoy Mackenzie’s favourite Mexican chili con chicken!
1 packet
chicken thigh
1 unit
capsicum
(Contains: Almond; )
2 unit
carrot
1 tin
sweetcorn
2 clove
garlic
1 tin
red kidney beans
2 sachet
Tex-Mex spice blend
1 box
passata
12 unit
Mini Flour Tortillas
(Contains: Gluten(Wheat); )
1 tub
Greek-Style Yoghurt
(Contains: Milk; )
1 cube
Chicken-Style Stock Powder
1 bunch
coriander
olive oil
½ tsp
brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Cut the chicken thigh into 1 cm cubes. Finely chop the green capsicum. Finely chop the carrot (unpeeled). Peel and crush the garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Drain and rinse the red kidney beans.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside (the chicken will finish cooking in step 5).

Return the pan to a medium-high heat and with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the green capsicum, carrot and corn and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and Tex-Mex spice blend and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Tip: If you are sensitive to spice, please use less spice blend! Add the passata and brown sugar and crumble in the chicken stock cube. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

While the veggies are simmering, cut the mini flour tortillas into quarters. Divide the tortillas between the two oven trays lined with baking paper, arranging them in a single layer. TIP: Arranging the tortillas in a single layer ensures they cook evenly and in the allocated time. Brush (or spray) with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and crisp.

While the tortillas chips are baking, add the red kidney beans and chicken and to the large frying pan with the veggies and stir to combine. Simmer until the tortilla chips are ready and the chicken is cooked through.

Divide Mackenzie's Mexican chili con chicken between bowls. Top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt. Garnish with the coriander and serve the homemade tortilla chips on the side for scooping.
