I’ve been making different versions of my Chilli Con Carne for a while adding things like coffee, chocolate, smoked chilli’s, bacon, chorizo and even beer, it’s such an easy recipe to tweak and change and each different element adds it’s own thing to the dish.

When I was in Asda on the way to work a couple of mornings ago, I noticed this Piri Piri Chicken meal for one and having forgotten my lunch I decided to give it a go. It’s part of the chosen by you range and is chicken with long grain rice, red onion, peppers, spinach […]
