Mexican Chicken

JustJanS's Note:

Tomoko who lives with us made this for dinner tonight. I made a couple of changes to the recipe she brought home, and this is what we finished up with.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 500 g skinless chicken thighs, diced
• 1/2 cup red capsicum (bell pepper)
• 1 tablespoon Mexican chili powder (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 2 teaspoons chicken stock powder
• 1 (415 g) can chopped tomatoes
• 1 (450 g) can refried beans
• 1/2 cup water

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes.
2. Add the diced chicken and capsicum and cook for a further 4 minutes or until all the chicken has changed colour.
3. Add spices and stock powder and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for another 15 minutes Serve over steamed rice.
5. I like to serve grated cheese, sour cream and gaucomale so people can add them themselves.

Made this for supper tonight and it was wonderful. Added about 1/2 cup of frozen corn and about 1 chopped jalapeño. Very tasty.
