Cook Time: 
40 mins
Serves: 
6

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 8 (about 1.4kg) chicken thigh fillets, trimmed
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 400g button mushrooms, trimmed
  • 40g sachet Fajita seasoning
  • 450g jar mild tomato salsa
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves
  • 1 tbs jalapeno chilli, drained, finely chopped
  • Lime wedges & warm tortillas, to serve, optional


Method

  1. Place flour on a plate and season. Dust chicken in seasoned flour. Shake off excess. Reserve any remaining flour.
  2. Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or large deep frying pan over high heat until hot.
  3. Cook the chicken, in two batches, for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove to a plate.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil and onion to same dish. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add mushrooms, Fajita seasoning and reserved flour.
  5. Cook, stirring for 1 minute.
  6. Return chicken to pan with salsa and stock. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked. Remove lid.
  7. Simmer for a further 5 minutes, or until sauce is thickened slightly. Sprinkle over coriander and jalapeno. Serve with lime wedges and warm tortillas.


Tips & Hints

  1. Fajita seasoning can be replaced with Mexican spice blend or taco seasoning if preferred. For a milder flavour, omit jalapeƱo.
