Preparation

Step 1

Season the chicken with salt & pepper. In a large non-stick pan over medium-high, heat the oil. Once hot add the chicken and brown on all sides for 2-3 minutes. Remove the chicken and add the sausage, browning for about 2 minutes, turning once.

Add the adobo and chili powder, cook for 30 seconds. Add onions and reduce heat to medium low. Caramelize until soft & browned, 6-8 minutes. Add peppers and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

Add the browned chicken, broth, rice and black beans. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, over medium to low heat for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens. Season with salt & pepper. Makes 4 servings as a main dish 6-7 as a side dish.
