Method

  • step 1

    Heat 2 tsp oil in a large non-stick pan over a low heat, add the peppers then cover and cook for 10 mins until softened. Shake the pan a couple of times to move them about, but try not to lift the lid. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, mix the chicken in a bowl with the remaining 1 tsp oil, grated garlic, ¼ tsp oregano, paprika and ½ tsp coriander. Toss the onion with 1 tbsp lime juice in a separate bowl and set aside.

  • step 3

    To make the dressing, scoop the unsliced halved avocado into a bowl with the whole garlic clove, pinch of oregano, 2 tbsp lime juice and 3 tbsp water and blitz with a hand blender until completely smooth. Alternatively, you can use a food processor.

  • step 4

    Return the pan of peppers to the heat and add the chicken, cover and cook for 5 mins until tender and cooked through. Tip the beans, quick-pickled onions and chopped coriander into the pan and mix well.

  • step 5

    Pile the spinach onto two plates and top with the chicken mixture. Spoon on the avocado dressing and top with the avocado slices. Serve while still warm.

question

@bbc, could you please indicate what the correct amount of ground coriander and oregano should be?

sallyshark22

Not the BBC but….the correct amounts seem to be as directed in the method: 1/4 tsp oregano and 1/2 tsp coriander.

I really enjoyed it, but I think it needs more seasoning.

14 tsp of oregano would be quite sickly. Please amend this to 1/4 tsp! Previous comments have gone without action.

question

I have ised this recipe to track my calories on myfitnesspal app and the total for one person comes up 743. Why could there be such a big difference?

Both of the earlier comments regarding measurements, particularly of coriander were posted a month ago. Does anyone monitor this site and respond? They are both valuable comments.
