Caribbean Chicken and Black Beans image

Originally from Shape magazine and adapted to suit my tastes and simplify the preparation. This is healthy and comforting with a pleasing, but approachable combination of spices that even picky eaters will enjoy. Though full of flavor this is not spicy hot, so feel free to adjust to your own tastes. A word of caution, this makes 6 perfect portions for my weight watching lifestyle but if you have hungry eaters at your table, it may only serve 4 or 5.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more spices or herbs. However, the chicken was cooked well and the black beans were creamy.
