Mexican chicken with black beans (prep 10 mins, cook 25 mins, serves 2)

Authentic-tasing Mexican bake. You can use as much or little chicken as you like.

Ingredients
2 x large chicken breasts
1 tin of black beans
1 red pepper (sliced finely)
1/2 tin chopped tomatoes or 200g passata
2-3 spring onions, sliced finely
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chipotle paste

To serve: a handful of fresh coriander, sliced avocado and a twist of lime

Method
Bake the chicken breasts in the oven at 180 degrees until cooked (approx 25 mins)
Place all the other ingredients (i.e. the red pepper, spring onions, chopped tomatoes, drained black beans, cumin and chipotle paste) in an ovenproof dish and mix well. Bake in the oven alongside the chicken breasts for 15 minutes.
When cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and place the pulled chicken into the ovenproof dish with the tomato, red pepper and bean mix.
