Directions
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the onions and peppers for a few minutes until softened
- Scatter over the red pepper flakes, then stir in the chicken pieces and cook briefly until they turn white
- Add the tomatoes and New Canaan Farms Cilantro Salsa. Pour in ½ to 1 tomato-can of water, stir and bring up to a gentle simmer
- Allow to cook gently for around 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, stirring in the black beans for the last couple of minutes
- While this is cooking, rinse 1 cup of dry quinoa until the water runs clear, then add to a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to the boil, then cook for 12-15 minutes on a very gentle simmer. When all the water is absorbed, add in 1 tbsp of olive oil and the juice of ½ lime, plus salt and pepper to season
- Squeeze the remaining lime juice into the chicken dish, and garnish with the fresh cilantro
- Serve with the quinoa and Greek yogurt, which is wonderful either stirred through the dish, or on the side
