Cooking Steps

1

• Finely chop garlic. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • SPICY! You may find the spice blend hot! Add less if you're sensitive to heat. In a medium bowl, combine Mexican Fiesta spice blend and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, tossing to coat.

2

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook chicken, tossing, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl (it will finish cooking in step 3!). • Return pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chopped veggie mix, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the water and chicken-style stock powder. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. TIP: Cook the chicken in batches if your pan is getting crowded.

3

• Return chicken to pan. Stir to combine, then simmer until chicken is cooked through, 4-5 minutes. • Stir through baby spinach leaves and butter until combined, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4

• Divide chilli con chicken between bowls. • Top with shredded Cheddar cheese to serve.
