Grilled Chicken Chilli

50 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

This is a riff on chilli con carne using grilled chicken and white beans. It’s smoky, lightly spiced and perfect for loading with toppings like green chilli, avocado and coriander. Serve with rice and tortilla chips.

Ingredients

  • 500g boneless, skin-on chicken thighs (the skin will keep the chicken moist during cooking, but you could use skinless if you prefer)
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or finely grated
  • 400g tin white beans such as cannellini
  • Sliced green chilli, to serve
  • Sour cream, to serve
  • Coriander, to serve
  • Avocado, diced, to serve
  • 1 lime

Directions

1.

Preheat two gas burners

Preheat two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to medium.

2.

Using a rolling pin

Using a rolling pin or meat tenderiser, flatten the thighs until they are an even thickness. Rub the thighs with a little oil and season with salt. Place the thighs over direct heat and cook for 8-10 minutes each side, or until cooked through.​​​​​​​
