Tips

I made this recipe up, so if my instructions seem a bit vague, it is just because I am trying to remember what I did!


Directions

Roughly chop your chicken thigh fillets (I used 5) and put them in a medium sized bowl.
Squeeze 1/4 of a lime over them and put in Paprika, Tabasco, Cajun and Salt and Pepper.
Mix all together then let sit for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook your rice - I used the method of boiling then turning off the heat and covering with the lid.
Heat a fry pan up and put your marinated chicken in. I didn't use any oil - the juices of the chicken and the sauce should be enough.
Once just cooked add the kidney beans and cook until the chicken browns.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle with your cheese.
Stir through the cheese until the mixture looks sticky.
Serve on top of cooked rice - squeeze a 1/4 lime over if desired.
