Steps for Chicken and Beans in Sauce
First, cut the chicken into cubes or strips and coat it in flour.
In a pan, heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil with two cloves of garlic. Sauté the floured chicken for a few minutes until it begins to brown.Add the beans (which you have drained and rinsed) and the tomato puree. Season with salt and add the spices you prefer, for example, I added a bit of chili pepper for an extra kick!
Cover with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes on very low heat. This is the secret to letting the flavors absorb well!
Serve the dish very hot. You’ll see, this delicious main course will be a hit, especially with lots of bread to mop up the sauce!And now… all that’s left is to enjoy this wonder! I hope you liked the recipe.
