Mmmmm, what's healthy and you only need rice to accompany it! ;D Black beans and Chicken...well, my black beans and chicken...;D
My boys love this dish. Yes, it's another quick one pot meal. I have a ton of them. It also cooks in less than 45 mintues and you can make everything in one pot (not the rice though) without messing up a load of dishes. My daughter thanks me.
The ingredient list is also small and not at all costly. This dish cost me only $6-7 dollars or if you don't have the seasonings, about $10-12. Either way, it's a staple, a healthy one at that in my home.
I usually use chicken breasts, lean and healthy, but occasionally I'll use boneless/skinless chicken thighs (trim all the fat also). Season with Goya Adobo and pan fry until done. Next, one can of black beans, 1/2 cup of chicken broth, and about 2-3 tbls spoons of Goya Sofrito. Sofrito is a tomato base seasoning full of wholesome goodness, it has onions, bell pepper, and tomato with other seasonings until it becomes a loose paste. I haven't ventured into other realms yet on ways to utilize it, but I'm sure there is a lot of ways I can.
Bring the beans to a light simmer, then add the chicken. Cover and simmer for about five minutes and serve over cooked rice. Wallah! There are always requests for seconds!
You can't go wrong with this. Really, you can't!
