Chicken and White Bean Chilli

This chicken and white bean chilli offers a lighter, fresher alternative to the classic beef version, using tender chicken thighs and creamy pulses. It is a vibrant, one-pot meal that balances earthy cumin and oregano with a gentle heat from the chilli powder. The addition of fresh coriander at the end lifts the rich tomato base, making it a satisfying dish for any night of the week.

As a high-protein option, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a nutritious and filling dinner that does not compromise on flavour. The use of white beans adds plenty of fibre, while the chicken provides a lean source of energy. Serve it simply in deep bowls with a dollop of soured cream or a side of fluffy brown rice for a complete, heart-healthy feast.
