- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp jalapenos (from a jar) roughly chopped
- 1 red chilli roughly chopped
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 heaped tbsp arrow root powder
- 2 tsp vegetable boullion powder
- 500 ml chicken bone broth
- 3 large chicken breasts chopped into chunks
- 400 g black beans rinsed and drained
- Juice of 1 lime
Heat a large deep frying pan over a medium heat. Add the cumin and dry fry for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the oil, onion, garlic, chilli and salt and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Stir in the arrow root powder and vegetable boullion.
Add the broth, chicken and beans and stir to combine. Cover with a tight-fighting lid, bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir in the lime juice.
Divide between serving bowls and serve with brown rice and avocado salsa. Sprinkle with coriander and sliced red chilli to serve.
