Chipotle chicken stew with chickpeas
Background
One-pot stews are wonderful meals on busy weekdays or laid back weekends. This Mexican style chipotle chicken stew with chickpeas and kale can be served with flatbread or rice. If you like your food really hot, then add some Cayenne to the dish with the other spices or serve it with Jalapeno pepper slices.
