This is such a family favourite, everyone loves the fat free Sour ‘Cream’ and Chives drizzled on top and know they can have as much of it as they like. The kids usually like to finish it up by dipping in toasted pita breads or tortilla crisps.

Serves 4

Fajita Spice Mix (recipe below)

Low calorie cooking spray

2 onions cut into wedges (about 6 wedges per onion)

3 mixed peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks

1 courgette thickly sliced (about 1.5 cm thick) then cut in half to form semicircles

2 garlic cloves crushed

600g chicken thigh fillets, skinless and boneless and any visible fat removed

1/2 400g tin of black beans, rinsed and drained

500g cooked brown rice

Sour ‘Cream’ and Chives (recipe below)

Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C.

Add the chopped peppers, courgette and onion wedges to a large roasting pan (or two pans if necessary, you want the vegetables to crisp up and not steam).

Spray the whole of the mixture with a few sprays of low calorie cooking spray and shake on about 2 tbsp of the Fajita spice and add the crushed garlic. Toss everything together (I use my hands but you could use a large spatula if you like) to ensure a nice even coating.

Nestle the chicken thighs amongst the vegetables, add a quick spray of low calorie spray to each thigh and shake over some more Fajita spice (this will go crispy as the chicken bakes)

Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken thighs. Halfway through give the vegetables a bit of a shake to turn them over and crops up the other side.

Remove from the oven then mix in the black beans and rice and return to the oven to heat through for 5 minutes.

Serve with the Sour ‘Cream’ and Chives drizzled over, and a crunchy coleslaw or salad.
