1. The first step is to boil the beans until cooked. To do this, soak it beforehand all night in cold water, it will swell well and cook quickly enough. If you forget to soak the beans, do not worry, fill it with water, bring to a boil, remove from heat and leave to infuse in hot water under a closed lid for one hour. After that, it is just as quickly cooked. Well, if you cook beans that are not soaked in advance, then spend at least two or even three hours on it.

2. Clean the chicken meat from the skin (we do not need it) and cut into convenient pieces. It is best to use meat with a bone: drumsticks, thighs or ham, since these parts of the chicken are much juicier than, for example, brisket.

3. Fry the meat in a pan with the addition of sunflower oil until golden brown. Peel and wash the onions and carrots under running water, cut them as small as possible and send to the meat to fry first the onions, and then the carrots.

4. When the meat with vegetables is almost ready, add sour cream diluted with boiled water, tomato sauce, finely chopped garlic and spices to taste. Instead of tomato sauce, you can use ketchup, tomato paste, tomato juice, or just take a few tomatoes, peel off, dipping them for a moment in boiling water, and stem, chop and add to the dish. Stew the resulting gravy for a few minutes.

5. From the separately boiled beans, drain the remaining liquid and mix with the gravy. Bring to taste your favorite spices, if necessary. If it seems to you that the beans are rather dry, add more water. Stew it with meat for about 5-10 minutes. Braised beans with chicken and vegetables will be very tender and will just melt in your mouth.

6. Add finely chopped favorite greens. Serve hot. Enjoy your meal!

If you want to feed your family a tasty, nourishing and healthy meal, cook beans with chicken meat, you will not regret it. The dish will scatter at the dinner table. And your household will be full and satisfied.

It is very easy to make such food, but first you need to prepare products. Thoroughly wash fresh chicken fillets under cold running water, dry them with paper kitchen towels, spread them on a cutting board and remove the film, cartilage and small pieces of fat from it with a sharp kitchen knife. Then cut the meat in small portioned pieces from 2 to 3 centimeters, transfer them to clean deep dishes, sprinkle to taste with black pepper, salt, mix with clean hands, so that the spices cover the cutting from all sides, and leave the bird in this form on 15–20 minutes.

After that, helping yourself with a special key, open a jar of canned beans in marinade. Tilt it in a sieve or a colander with a fine mesh and, without rinsing, leave it in the sink until use, so that the glass has excess liquid. We do not lose a minute, we lay out on the table-top all the other ingredients that will be needed to prepare the dish, and proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Cooking Chicken with Beans.

We put a deep frying pan on the middle fire and pour a little vegetable oil into it, its amount depends only on your taste, I completely had two tablespoons. After 2–3 minutes, gently dip the fillet pieces into the preheated fat and fry them until golden brown, stirring constantly with a wooden kitchen spatula. At first, the meat will change its pink shade to gray and will be stewed, but after about 10 minutes   will begin to be covered with a ruddy crust.

As soon as the chicken is almost ready, add the chopped onion to it, mix everything again and cook them together for about 4–5 minutes. Then we put the haricot beans and tomato paste into the frying pan with the already fragrant dish, again we loosen with a spatula, taste and, if necessary, add more spices.

After that, we reduce the fire to a minimum level, cover the food with a lid, we withstand on the included plate 3-4 minutes, we distribute portions on plates and immediately serve to the table.
