    this was good but way to much liquid

    Very delicious, but 12 thighs for 6 portions was way too much so I only made 6 thighs. The water to chicken ratio was too much and it ended up watery (still tasty though). Now will cook some rice in the liquid for chipotle rice

    Hi Sharmila! Thanks for giving this one a go, glad to hear you thought it was tasty. If you're left with a bit more liquid than you'd like at the end of the 25 mins in step 3 then you can absolutely leave it going for a bit longer to thicken!

    This was delicious and definitely worth the time it takes to make, have portions of it in the freezer and can’t wait to eat it again soon!!

    Very tasty. However, if using Gran Luchito chipotle paste, reduce the amount unless you like it high on spice

    wish I saw this before. I was so confident with the massive forkful I shoved in my mouth. It actually made me cry painful tears!

    Love this. Went with 2 teaspoons of the chipotle paste and 2 extra tablespoons of tomato paste as we are a bit of a whimp on spice.

    does anyone have an alternative for chipotle paste? I don’t think they have it at my local super market

    What could I add instead of chipotle paste so that it’s suitable for my child too?

    would rather have g weight of chicken rather than x amount of thighs.

    it depends on how much you want to eat per serving right? 10 thighs across 5 serving is 2 each time or maybe just weigh them prior?

    More just so I know how much chicken breast to buy instead! easier to sub meats with g weight. (plus I’m not a thigh fan)

    Can I batch cook this and freeze? I don’t want to eat the chicken every day for a full week 😄

    Yep. I use Souper Cubes, they’re silicone trays and you portion it up & freeze it and then can create different dishes from it.

    Delicious! Absolutely loved this meal and enjoyed eating it twice. The tacos recipe was excellent- we added tomatoes to the pineapple salsa and we cheated the other night and just made the loaded fries with frozen chips in the air fryer!

    Wasn’t a huge fan. Sauce never thickened up and lacked flavour for me.

    Very tasty and very easy to make. Loved by the whole family. I substituted chicken breast fillets in place of thighs, just because I'd already thawed them. I also made some tortilla wraps and added a dollop of soured cream to finish it off. Definitely worth making.

    Curious, can I sub chicken breasts?
