SOUTHWESTERN SPICED CHICKEN & BLACK BEAN STEW



Southwestern Spiced Chicken & Black Bean Stew image

I searched high and low to find dried chipotles (where are you when I need you, California??...sniff...) and finally asked my local grocer to order them for me. It was worth it.

Categories     Stew

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 slices bacon
6 bone-in skinless chicken thighs (about 2-1/4 pounds)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely diced
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup beer
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can black beans, rinsed (about 2 cups)
1 dried chipotle pepper
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, more if needed
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime
sour cream (to garnish)
fried corn tortilla strips (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until it renders much of its fat and crisps slightly, about 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Add half of the thighs to the pan and brown them well on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Brown the remaining thighs and reserve with the rest.
  • There should be 2 to 3 tablespoons fat left in the pan; if there's more, spoon out and discard the excess. Add the onion and bell pepper, season well with salt, and cook, stirring often, until the onion softens and caramelizes slightly, about 7 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the chili powder and cumin, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the beer and cook until it's almost completely reduced, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, the chipotle and the chicken broth. When the mixture comes to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer 2 cups of the beans and broth (but not the chipotle) to a blender, purée, and then mix it back into the rest of the broth.
  • Return the thighs to the pot, cover with the lid slightly ajar, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. If the stew is too thick, thin it with more chicken broth.
  • Discard the chipotle. Crumble the reserved bacon. Juice one half of the lime; cut the other half into wedges. Stir the bacon, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of the cilantro into the stew and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Serve immediately. Sprinkle each serving with the remaining cilantro and a small dollop of sour cream. Serve with the lime wedges and fried tortilla strips, if you like.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop your vegetables, marinate the chicken, and cook the rice ahead of time to save time during the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, corn, and black beans, but you can also add other vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or poblano peppers.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper in the recipe. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to cool things down.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it's cooked through but still tender. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include avocado, sour cream, salsa, and cheese.

Conclusion:

This spicy chicken and black bean stew is a flavorful and satisfying meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with cilantro-lime rice and your favorite toppings for a complete meal.
