Preparation
1
COOK THE CHICKEN

a) Preheat your oven to 200°C. b) Heat a glug of oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat . c) Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and a pinch of salt and pepper. d) Fry, turning frequently until the chicken is browned on the outside, 3-5 mins.

2
PREP

a) While the chicken is cooking, halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). c) Drain and rinse the blackbeans in a colander, put half of them in a bowl and roughly mash. d) Add the remaining whole beans to the bowl too and stir to combine. e) Drain and rinse the sweetcorn in a sieve.

3
ADD THE SPICE

a) Once the chicken is browned, add the shallot to the pan. b) Fry, stirring frequently until the shallot has softened, 3-4 mins. c) Stir in the Mexican spice, garlic and sweetcorn, cook, stirring, for 1 minute. TIP: Add less spice if you don't like heat. d) Pour in the passata, water (see ingredient list for amount), chicken stock powder and blackbeans (whole and mashed).

4
SIMMER

a) Add a pinch of salt, pepper and sugar (if you have some). b) Bring to the boil, stirring continuously, then reduce the heat to medium. c) Cover the pan with a lid or some foil and simmer until the the mixture is thick and the chicken is cooked, 6-8 mins. d) Stir every 2 mins or so. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5
FINISH THE PREP

a) While the stew cooks, grate the cheddar cheese. b) Cut each ciabatta in half as though you're making a sandwich. c) Place on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. d) Bake for 5 mins. e) Once the stew is cooked, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted. TIP: Add a splash of water if needed.
