This low-carb, super speedy meal only requires one pan! Yep, you heard us - it's a one pan wonder that's bursting with classic flavours you know and love. This recipe is under 650kcal per serving and under 30g carbohydrates per serving. The recent harsh weather conditions have impacted the zucchinis grown by our farmers. The quality and freshness is still the same, but they may be a little smaller than usual.

SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat.

• Cut capsicum and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. • Cut chicken breast into bite-sized chunks. • Drain red kidney beans (see ingredients). • In a medium bowl, combine chicken, Tex-Mex spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. • Cook chicken, in batches, stirring, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside (the chicken will finish cooking in step 3). • Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook capsicum and zucchini, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce the heat to medium, add the water and chicken stock powder. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
