Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, red hot chili peppers, and red peppers to the pot. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes, until the peppers begin to soften.
- Push the vegetables to the sides of the pot, leaving space in the center.
- Add the chopped chicken breasts to the center of the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are browned on all sides.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes, including their juice.
- Add the kidney beans and chicken broth to the pot.
- Stir in the black pepper and chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the chicken to cook through thoroughly.
- Taste the stew and add salt if necessary. Adjust other seasonings to preference.
- Ladle the chicken and bean stew into bowls.
- Garnish with additional chopped coriander leaves, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy your hearty and spicy stew!
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in some olive oil, black pepper, and garlic for a few hours before cooking.
- If you like your stew spicier, do not remove the seeds from the chili peppers. If you prefer a milder flavor, remove the seeds and ribs before chopping.
- Use fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes if you prefer to avoid canned tomatoes. Adjust cooking times to ensure the tomatoes break down thoroughly.
- Toast the coriander leaves lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the stew to bring out their aromatic flavors.
- You can substitute kidney beans with other types of beans like black beans or even chickpeas, based on your preference.
