Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This pulled chicken and black bean chilli recipe appeared in last month's BBC Good Food magazine.   We love chilli con carne and I've never tried it with chicken, so this really appealed.

The end result is a totally delicious full of smoky chipotle flavour chicken chilli made with black beans instead of the normal kidney beans.   We enjoyed ours with rice, feta, chopped coriander, tortilla crisps and extra lime wedges on the side.

Tips

  • Make ahead and freezable – this chilli recipe will keep chilled for up to three days and frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost thoroughly, then reheat until piping hot.
  • This pulled chicken and black bean chilli recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
