INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup cooked Black Beans
1 medium Plantain
1 tbsp Fresh Mixed Herbs
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic (minced)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for the roasted plantain.
Slice the plantain into thick diagonal pieces. Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
While the plantains roast, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and the fresh mixed herbs.
Heat a pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Add the black beans to the pan, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to braise in its juices.
Check that the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) before removing it from the pan.
Plate the braised chicken with a side of savory black beans and roasted plantains. Garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve warm.
