Step 1:
How to cook beans with chicken? Prepare the products. Take pre-boiled red beans or ordinary canned. Peel the onion from the husk and wash it. Rinse the chicken fillet well and dry it. My processed cheese is sliced, you can also take it in briquettes.
Step 2:
Cut the chicken fillet into three portions, fry on both sides in a frying pan in highly heated oil. This will help ensure that the meat remains as juicy as possible during the subsequent stewing. If you want to get texture strips, you can fry the chicken in a grill pan.
Step 3:
Transfer the fried chicken breast to a plate and cover with a lid or wrap with foil so that it cools down more slowly.
Step 4:
Finely chop the onion and garlic, after crushing it with the back of a knife.
Step 5:
In the same oil where the chicken was fried, fry the onion and garlic, stirring them with a spatula.
Step 6:
Add beans (boiled or canned) to the onion, then tomato paste and a glass of water. Bring to a boil over low or medium-low heat, stirring. You can add not all products at once, but with breaks.
Step 7:
Put fried chicken breasts on top of the beans in a frying pan.
Step 8:
Put a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken - it will not melt, but only become soft. Simmer the chicken with red beans under the lid for 10-15 minutes on low heat.
Step 9:
Serve the dish with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!

There are many recipes for cooking chicken with red beans. I offer another one, simple, affordable, delicious!

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

Tomato paste in this recipe can be replaced with tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes or ketchup.
