Healthy Mexi-Chicken Bake Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 capsicums, chopped
- 2 x 400g cans baked beans (Mexican flavoured)
- 400 g skinless chicken breast, sliced in half lengthways and chopped
- 1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, grated
Method
- Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).
- Combine onion, capsicum and canned beans in a large ovenproof dish.
- Place chicken pieces into bean mix and press down so they are covered by sauce.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle with cheese and bake for a further 5 – 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese has browned.
- Divide between plates and serve immediately.
Variations
- Add chilli flakes and fresh coriander for extra flavour.
- Mexican flavoured baked beans are usually in the supermarket with the baked beans. If unavailable, swap for:
- - No-added-salt baked beans + 1 tablespoon smoked paprika + 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- - Red kidney beans or other beans + jar of salsa

Ingredients
Serving Suggestion: Serve with tortillas, bread or rice.
Comment: *To make the dish dairy-free replace the mozzarella cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative or swap for a breadcrumb and herb topper.

Shouldn't take that long if your chicken is chopped like it says?

This will take a lot longer in the oven then it says. I think it should say to pan fry the chicken and veg before putting it in the oven as it took an hour and 15 mins to cook!
