Creamy Chicken Feta Beans

Ingredients

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp: smoked paprika, garlic granules, ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 chicken breast (about 200g), halved lengthwise
  • 450ml chicken stock
  • 1 400g can cannellini beans, drained
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (about 1/2 small lime)
  • 60g feta, crumbled
  • 1-2 tbsp chopped coriander

Method

  1. In a medium sized frying pan over a medium heat, add 1-2 tbsp of oil. Once hot add the onion, pepper and a good pinch of salt. Cook until sweet and softened, about 5-8 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, smoked paprika, garlic granules, ground cumin and dried thyme. Cook for a further two minutes, stir often.
  3. Add the chicken breast and cover with stock. Bring to a simmer then cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Reduce the heat to low then using a couple of forks, shred the chicken.
  5. Add the beans, then mash about 1/3rd of the beans using a fork or potato masher and stir well.
  6. Add the cream cheese, the chopped coriander and lime juice.
  7. Stir well then season with salt and pepper if needed. And that’s it!
