Time 2h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

2 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) chickens
1 heaping teaspoon hot chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fennel pollen
Dash ground white pepper
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 dried morel mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
3 carrots, peeled cut into chunks
2 onions, peeled and cut into chunks
3 stalks celery, cut into chunks
26 ounces beer
1 1/2 quarts water
Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
4 cups instant white rice
Black Bean and Corn Salsa, recipe follows
2/3 cup ketchup (recommended: Heinz)
4 ounces beer
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon hot chili powder
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
6 ounces frozen corn, thawed
1 large beef steak tomato, seeded and finely diced
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 cup tomato juice
1 medium red onion, finely diced
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Break down chickens to get 4 breasts on the bone (with skin) and 4 leg-thigh pieces. Trim all fat and skin from the carcasses and hack into small pieces.
  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, fennel pollen, white pepper, and fine salt. Rub all over chicken breasts, cover and keep refrigerated.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for indirect grilling. Season chicken legs with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminum foil to form a pouch. Grill away from the heat source until chicken is very tender, about 1 hour.
  • Place the chicken bones, dried mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion and salt in cheesecloth and tie off with twine. Add beer and water to stock pot and toss in tied up bones. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Simmer for 2 hours. Remove tied up bones.
  • After the legs have cooked for 1 hour, remove from grill. Discard skin and bones, shred chicken meat and set aside. Place dry rubbed chicken breast on grill skin side down over direct heat. Grill chicken, turning once, until cooked through about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, heat Barbecue Sauce to simmering. Stir in leg meat.
  • When the dish is 5 minutes away from finished, measure out 4 cups hot stock into a clean saucepan. Return to simmer, add white rice, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Slice chicken breast, serve over rice with leg meat and Corn and Black Bean Salsa.
  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss all of the ingredients together and let sit for 1 hour.

Here, tender chicken breast is seasoned with a flavorful chili-lime rub, then skillet cooked and served atop a saute of hearty black beans, sweet corn, and fresh tomatoes warmed until barely bursting. It is made savory and given a gentle heat with onion, garlic, and a kiss of jalapeno. (If you like a lot of heat, feel free to add more jalapeno and/or more cayenne in the rub for the chicken.)

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
One 15-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, from 1 large or 2 small ears fresh corn, or frozen
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the chili powder, lime zest, cumin, granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in a little with your fingers.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until they soften, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, then stir in the beans, tomatoes, and corn and cook until all the vegetables are softened but still retain their shape, about 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Divide the vegetable mixture among four plates. Slice the chicken and divide it among the plates along with some avocado. Sprinkle each with lime juice and cilantro and serve.

BLACK BEAN, CORN & CHICKEN SALAD



Black Bean, Corn & Chicken Salad image

Delicious salad that can be served warm or cold. I serve it with olive oil tortillas and sour cream. I think that I found this recipe in a magazine a few years back. Truly delicious, and very healthy.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 1/2 ounces corn, drained. (1 1/2c)
29 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed. (3c)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped. (1/2c)
1 bell pepper, diced. (1c)
3/4 lb cooked chicken breast, cubed. (3c)
3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & pepper
olive oil (optional)
tortilla (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare all vegetables.
  • Dice chicken (I usually cook the chicken while I am preparing the vegetables, then I dice it while it's warm).
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes. (The warmth of the chicken will heat the salad and help the flavors to marry quickly. You can let this sit for about 10 mins or put it in the fridge overnight.).
  • Stir to redistribute the ingredients.
  • Serve with tortillas (avocado & sour cream go well too.).
