This aromatic chicken chilli is a wonderful high-protein choice for busy weeknights, offering a deep, smoky flavour profile without the need for hours of slow cooking. By using dried New Mexican or guajillo chillies and a handful of roasted peanuts, the sauce achieves a silky texture and a sophisticated nuttiness that perfectly complements the tender meat. It is a satisfying alternative to traditional beef-based recipes, providing a lighter but equally comforting meal for the whole family.
Utilising a shop-bought rotisserie chicken makes this a remarkably quick and easy dish to assemble, perfect for those seeking a nutritious homemade supper after work. The addition of pink beans adds extra fibre and substance, ensuring a well-balanced bowl. Serve each portion with a cooling spoonful of soured cream and plenty of fresh coriander to highlight the vibrant Mexican-inspired flavours.
