Chicken Chile Stew With Beans Food

CHICKEN-CHILE STEW

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add half of chicken, skin-side down. Cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Carefully remove and discard all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot; reduce heat to medium. Add chiles, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping browned bits from bottom of pot, until onion is softened and golden in spots, about 5 minutes. Add oregano and chili powder. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Return chicken with accumulated juices to pot, along with broth and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of thighs (without touching bone) registers 165 degrees, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; let stand until cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, mash half of beans to a paste in a bowl with a potato masher. Stir mashed beans into pot with remaining whole beans. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until liquid has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove and discard chicken skins and bones. Pull meat into bite-size shreds and stir into stew. Simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low to keep warm until ready to serve. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro sprigs, and salsa fresca.

SMOKY CHICKEN, BEAN & KALE STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole pan. Tip in the chicken and cook for a few minutes each side until golden brown - do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Put the pancetta in the pan and cook for 5 mins until starting to crisp. Push to one side and add the onion, cooking until softened, about 8 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 min.
• Add the paprika, bay, vinegar, tomatoes and sugar, then crumble in the stock cube. Add two cans full of water (800ml), season well and return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 30 mins - bubbles should only break the surface now and then.
• Uncover the pan and cook for another 30 mins until the stew has reduced to a rich broth. The tomatoes should have brokendown by now, but if they're still quite chunky, squash them with the back of a wooden spoon. Use two forks to pull apart the larger chunks of chicken.
• Stir the beans and kale into the stew, cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins to wilt the kale and heat the beans through. Serve in deep bowls with chunks of garlic bread and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil, if you like. To freeze the stew, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a freezerproof container. Will keep for up to three months. Defrost thoroughly, then reheat until piping hot.

• If desired, top stew with shredded cheese, sour cream, avocados, and crushed up tortilla chips. My kids love to eat this as a dip for their chips. I serve it with the baked version of tortilla chips.
