Categories     Chicken and Poultry

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 chicken breasts ((about 12 ounces/340g, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices))
3 tablespoons water
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
3 slices ginger ((julienned))
3 cloves garlic ((smashed and chopped))
3 scallions ((chopped and separated into white and green parts))
3 tablespoons fermented black beans ((washed and drained))
1 green bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
1 red bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
¼ teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken and the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix until all the liquid is absorbed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat your wok over high heat, until it starts to smoke. This step is essential, as it prevents the chicken from sticking to the wok. With your spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken, and quickly spread the pieces into a single layer. Let the chicken cook for about 30 seconds, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The chicken is done once it turns opaque--be careful not to overcook it. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a dish, and set aside.
  • Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger, and let it cook for 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the black beans. Stir for another 30 seconds. Now turn up the heat to high. Add the green and red peppers, and stir fry for about a minute. Add the sugar, Shaoxing wine, salt, the chicken, 2 tablespoons of water, and the green parts of the scallion. Quickly stir-fry everything well to coat in the sauce, and serve!

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES



Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles image

Adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," this true one-pot wonder of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes and chiles will make everyone at the table happy. As the chicken thighs roast, the cumin-scented rice soaks up all of the delicious juices. When the timer chimes, the rice and chicken emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet here; a smaller or larger pan might result in under- or overcooked chicken or rice. Leftovers, if you have any, are great in tacos or enchiladas.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, casseroles, grains and rice, one pot, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or peanut oil
1 large yellow or white onion, chopped
2 green or red bell peppers, halved, seeded and sliced
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeños, halved, seeded and chopped
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick, broken in half
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1/3 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed in a sieve until the water runs clear
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and sliced avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (the pan size is very important) over medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides to give it good color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Meanwhile, add the Fresno chiles or jalapeños, cinnamon, garlic and cumin to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the black beans and cherry tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rice on top in an even layer. (It's important that the black beans are beneath the rice and chicken. The rice will burn otherwise.) Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The chicken should be lovely and golden, the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be tender. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and avocado (squeeze some lime juice over the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper).

CRUSTED CHICKEN AND BLACK BEANS



Crusted Chicken and Black Beans image

Provided by James Villas

Categories     Bean     Cheese     Chicken     Poultry     Tomato     Bake     Casserole/Gratin     Winter     Tortillas

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 3-pound cooked chicken (boiled or roasted)
1 medium-size ripe tomato, peeled and chopped (juices included)
One 15 1/4-ounce can black beans, drained
1 1/2 cups bottled salsa
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and black pepper to taste
Four 8-inch flour tortillas, cut into quarters
2 tablespoons corn oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 2 1/2-quart casserole and set aside.
  • 2. Remove and discard the skin and bones from the chicken, shred the meat, and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomato, beans, salsa, about three-quarters of the cheese, the cilantro, and cumin, season with salt and pepper, stir till well blended, and scrape into the prepared casserole. Arrange the tortilla quarters overlapping each other over the top, sprinkle with the oil, cover, and bake for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Uncover, sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top, and bake till the top is golden and crusty, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, marinate chicken in egg wash and breadcrumb mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • For a healthier version, use whole-wheat bread crumbs or panko crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken over medium heat so that it cooks through without burning.
  • Serve the crusted chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

This crusted chicken and black beans recipe is a delicious and easy meal that can be prepared in under an hour.
