Gwyneth Paltrow's Chicken and White Bean Chilli

I have every intention of working my way through this cookbook. It can be a little difficult to follow because, obviously, Gwyneth Paltrow is an American and the book is created for an American audience. BUT, I decided I was going to muddle through and make substitutions where I needed to.

For this recipe there isn't much to explain except:
pimenton is paprika
28oz is two tins
14oz is one tin

And I didn't have any toppings but cilantro is coriander if you fancy that as a topping!

Is it obvious I like food with a bit of a kick?



I use this recipe. But I add two chillis and I don't add mushroom or sweetcorn...cos Ben is awkward. I also go to my local Thai shop and buy rice noodles cos I love skinny skinny noodles! Yum!
