In the same pan, add the onion and cook for 3 or 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, sitrring often. Add the green pepper, chilli flakes, paprika and cumin to the pan, mix well and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomato purée, tomatoes, water or stock, sugar and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Return the chicken to the pan and mix well. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer, cover and leave to cook for 1 hours. Season well and stir in the kidney beans to heat through, then stir in the chopped coriander when ready to serve. Serve with guacamole and rice.
Top Tip for making Chilli Chicken
This will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Any left over? Add extra canned chopped tomatoes for a chunky soup, or serve in a taco or a wrap. Great with a baked potato.
