ANCHO CHICKEN BREAST WITH BLACK BEANS, BELL PEPPERS & SCALLIONS
In this healthy chicken recipe, the meat is rubbed with ancho chile powder, a spice made from dried poblano peppers. It adds mild heat and subtle smokiness to the rub on the chicken, but you can use regular chili powder here instead. This recipe makes an extra 1/2 cup of the black bean mash--try it wrapped into a burrito for lunch or as a taco filling (see Tips, below).

Steps:
- To prepare beans: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cumin seeds; cook, stirring, until fragrant and starting to brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in beans, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until hot, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth. Refrigerate 1/2 cup of the mashed beans for another use (see Tips, below). Cover the remaining beans to keep warm.
- To prepare chicken & vegetables: Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Toss scallions and bell peppers in a large bowl with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Broil, stirring twice, until the vegetables are charred, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place chicken between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy saucepan to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Combine chile powder, cinnamon, cocoa, brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the chicken with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and coat both sides with the spice mixture.
- Coat a large grill pan or skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add half the chicken. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining chicken, reducing the heat if necessary.
- Place about 2/3 cup of the beans on each of 4 dinner plates and top each portion with scallions, bell peppers and chicken.

CHICKEN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS
Because it looks different than traditional chili, my family was a little hesitant to try this dish at first. Thanks to the full, hearty flavor, it's become a real favorite around our house. I like to serve it with warm cornbread. -Jeanette Urbom, Louisburg, Kansas

ANCHO CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN CHILI
Steps:
- Carmelize onions and garlic in olive oil. Add peppers and stock, and bring to a simmer. Add the ancho paste, cumin and black pepper. When peppers are tender add cream and tighten with the roux. When chili has reached a creamy slightly thick consistancy, add beans, corn and chicken. Adjust seasoning, salt content, remove from heat and stir in the cilantro. I serve it with a pinch of cilantro on top and a dollop of sour cream.
TURKEY BLACK BEAN CHILE WITH ANCHO VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- To make the salsa, toast the chiles directly over a medium gas fame or in a castiron skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching. Chop the chiles and combine in a bowl with the orange and lime juices, salt, and olive oil. Mix well and let sit at least 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving. The salsa will keep up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- For the chili, place the beans in a soup pot with the water, arbol chilies and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook covered until tender but not falling apart, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Drain thoroughly and remove chiles and bay leaves.
- In a large, heavy pot heat the vegetable oil and cook the turkey, stirring often, until uniformly browned. Add the onions, salt and pepper and saute over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are just golden and clear, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, diced poblanos, chili powder, cumin and cayenne and stir together for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the aromas are released. Add the black beans and chicken stock and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flavors have blended and chile has thickened. Serve in warm bowls with a dollop of the ancho chile salsa on top.
BLACK BEAN ANCHO CHILI
Steps:
- Make salsa:
- Halve and peel the avocado and cut it into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl toss the avocado with the juice, the onion, the jalapeño, and salt and pepper to taste. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
- Make chili:
- In a large bowl let the beans soak in enough water to cover them by 2 inches for 1 hour and drain them. In a large heavy kettle cook the onions and 4 of the garlic cloves, minced, in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, add the cumin, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the beans and 6 cups of the water and simmer the mixture, uncovered, adding more water if necessary to keep the beans barely covered, for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
- While the beans are simmering, in a small saucepan bring the remaining 1 1/2 cups water to a boil, add the chilies, and remove the pan from the heat. Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes and in a blender puree the chilies with the liquid. Add the chili puree, to the bean mixture with the tomato puree, the broth, the bell pepper, the orégano, and salt to taste and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the coriander, the lime juice, and the remaining 2 garlic cloves, minced, and simmer the chili for 5 minutes.
- The chili may be frozen or made 4 days in advance, cooled, uncovered, and kept covered and chilled. Serve the chili with the avocado salsa and the sour cream.
