Ingredients
1 5oz portion of chicken breast, raw, sliced thin, or cut up in stripes (your choice!)1/4 cup of Goya’s Mojo Criollo non-stick spray 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh celery2 tablespoons of red onions, coarsely chopped1 cup cooked black beans (if using canned variety, remove excess liquid; if using freshly cooked, add a bit of salt)1/2 Roma tomato, chopped 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro1 garlic clove, crushedDash saltDash black pepper
Wash the chicken (plain water is fine, I prefer using half a lemon in my wash); rinse water thoroughly. Add Goya’s Mojo Criollo, and let it sit, covered, while you chop the vegetables; although not required, for added taste, you may marinade the chicken overnight. Chop, and set aside separately, the cilantro, the tomato, and the red onions. Heat up a sauté pan, and spray with non-stick spray; quickly add the chicken, moving with tongues occasionally, and when too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to the marinade and use this to keep the chicken from over-browning. Cook in this manner for about 5-10 minutes. About 5 minutes into the cooking, as the chicken is browning and drying up, add the celery. Let the celery brown a bit and sweat. Every time the liquid is drying up, add the next vegetable on the list (onions, then tomatoes, then cilantro, and crushed garlic last). Wait a few seconds until the garlic begins to cook through. The last ingredient to add is the pre-cooked beans. Add the remainder of the marinade liquid left to the chicken and translucent vegetables. Let the beans simmer for about 3-5 minutes on high. For presentation, you may take out the chicken, serve the stew first, and then top it with the chicken. ENJOY!
