Time 2h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups black beans
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup each of chopped carrots
1/2 cup each of chopped onion
1/2 cup each of chopped celery
4 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
Salt to taste
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
6 shallots, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
6 ounces goat cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Dash of white pepper
4 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cover the beans with cold water; either soak them overnight or bring them to the boil. If boiling, boil them for one minute, remove the pan from heat, cover and let sit for one hour.
  • Drain the beans and combine them in a pan with the stock, vegetables and seasonings. Bring to a boil, remove any scum and simmer for about one-and-a-half hours, partially covered, until the beans are tender but not mushy. Keep the beans warm while preparing the sauce and chicken.
  • Prepare the sauce by simmering the wine and shallots in a saucepan until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the cream and again reduce by half. While the liquid is reducing, preheat the broiler. Pour the liquid into a blender and add the cheese, butter and pepper. Puree until smooth. For a perfectly smooth sauce, strain the liquid. Keep the sauce warm, covered, over very low heat.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides and grill or broil about four or five minutes per side; do not overcook.
  • Slice the breasts and pour the sauce over the slices. Serve with the beans to one side.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out very creamy.
