Try our chicken version of chilli con carne, with all the richness of the classic dish. Heat the oil in a casserole dish over a medium heat, and fry the onion and peppers for 10-12 mins, or until softened.

Add the garlic, coriander stalks, ground coriander, cumin and chipotle paste, and fry for 2 mins more. Tip in the tomatoes, tomato pureé and stock, then add the cinnamon stick. Return the shredded chicken to the pan, then tip in the black beans along with the liquid from the can, the drained kidney beans, vinegar and chocolate. Stir well to combine all of the ingredients and melt the chocolate, then turn the heat up to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 mins, or until the mixture has thickened slightly.

Serve the chilli with rice or tortilla chips, topped with guacamole and soured cream, if using, and scatter over any remaining coriander. Cut 10cm circles out of ready-rolled shortcrust pastry and spoon any chicken chilli onto one half of each circle. Brush the sides with beaten egg, fold and seal with a fork.
