But she likes this recipe well enough to give me temporary kitchen privileges...and even encouraged me to enter this contest!

CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS OVER PASTA



Chicken With Black Beans over Pasta image

If you wish you may make this a day ahead and let it mellow in the fridge or just make and serve. It may be doubled. Personally I like spicy and would add an additional tsp of Cayenne. This recipe is not very spicy. Use your favorite pasta or if you prefer serve with rice. Tip: To cube the chicken have it half frozen before cutting. You may substitute regular vinegar but balsamic is best.
