Try it Tuesday – chilli beanie chicken thing !
Ok so I’ve fired up the slow cooker again and I’m also doing chicken thighs again as we really enjoyed them last time.
As a family I think we eat to much chicken breast in fact that’s the only cut we normally have (my OH won’t eat meat on the bone!) but after the success of last weeks basil chicken which used thigh fillets, I thought I would have a bit of a play with them again this week.
This is a sparkly mummy original recipe ! And for this you will need
2 peppers ( I used a yellow and orange because that’s what I had in the fridge) – diced
1 onion – diced
1 clove of garlic – crushed
a tin of chopped tomatoes
a tin butter beans – drained
a tin of white kidney beans (cannellini beans) – drained
500g chicken thigh fillets
500ml of chicken stock
1 tsp mild chilli powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne chilli pepper
1/2 tsp hot chilli powder
500g chicken thighs
Rice
I first chopped the onion and the peppers an put them in to the slow cooker along with the crushed garlic, the beans, tinned tomatoes, chicken stock and all the spices. I then seared the chicken and threw them in too, switched the slow cooker on to medium, and left it to do its thing.
Around 5:30 it was smelling amazing so I removed the chicken and shredded it but I was worried there was a lot of water so in my wisdom I chucked the rice in. The rice cooked prefectly but it didn’t look great ! I think in future I might put a little less water in it or but a bit of cornflour and water in to thicken it but it was very yummy!

Adding the rice in is an excellent idea! I’d definitely do the same in your situation. It may not have looked pretty but i bet it tasted that much better with the rice absorbing the lovely flavours! xx #foodiefriday
This sounds delicious. We don’t have a slow cooker, but I really want one. Thanks for hosting #foodiefriday

That sounds really tasty. I love dishes with lots of beans. #foodiefriday
Ooooh sounds and looks lovely and I always love a slow cooker recipe. I will be trying this, a great one for the whole family #FoodieFriday
I have a ‘thing’ about any type of beans so I wouldn’t be able to make this exactly, but the flavours you’ve used like the paprika and cayenne are my absolute favourites so I could definitely make my own bean-free version. And I’m with you, chicken thighs are so under-rated!! #FoodieFriday xx
Chilli Beanie Chickeny Thing ahahaha, brilliant. This looks yummy – I love my slow cooker though I eat so much more when it’s on as the smells are amazing!
Ooooh this may have to go on next weeks meal plan it looks amazing.

Oh this sounds yummy we love our slow cooker I use it all the time, I would be lost without it.
I used to only use chicken breast but for the past few years we’ve switched to using chicken thigh fillets for almost everything as they’re that bit cheaper! This sounds like something T would wolf down…although I might have to leave out the cayenne for her!
Looks lovely! I love any kind of beans, and I adore my slow cooker so this is perfect recipe for me 🙂 #foodiefriday
