Spicy Chicken Stew
Chilli powder and coriander really compliment the chicken in this spicy dish. You can adjust to your own preferred level of spiciness but I like it hot!

Altered ingredient amounts. This is a very delicious chilli. I loved that it contained chicken for a nice twist and the 2 types of beans added nice colour with the corn & capsicums. Very colourful. I happen to enjoy a very spicy chilli so I added about 1/2 tbl. more chilli powder, 1/2 tbl more cayenne pepper, 2 diced jalapenos & 1 tsp more cumin powder. I also found the chilli to be a little too runny because of all the water. I simmered for an extra 20 minutes and it was still "soupier" then I prefer. Next time, I would add 3 cups during the first step adding water in the recipe but I would only add 1 cup in the second step adding water in the recipe. I served it by topping with sliced jalapenos, sour cream, grated mexican cheese & chopped coriander. Will make again... - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. Great! Always looking for ways to add beans and fibre to meals. Could not find green Tobasco locally, so added a small can of green chillis to the mix. Will make this one, again. - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. I made a few changes to this one. I actually won a chilli cookoff with this. Instead of the Green Sauce, I added Diced Green chilli's. It was a hit! The flavour was wonderful!! - 29 Sep 2008
