Red Beans with Chicken

An unusual dish with an absolutely delicious sauce! Red beans with chicken made this way is a complete meal on its own — about the only things to add are some fresh herbs and a slice of white bread. Pieces of chicken, a bean side, and to top it off a wonderfully spiced sauce — three in one!

Cooking method

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients from the list: chicken (whole or in parts), red beans (cooked ahead or canned), oil, sugar (brown is ideal), onion, garlic, and spices — and be sure ginger is among them.
Step 2:

Cut the chicken into serving pieces.
Step 3:

In a bowl, combine the chicken with the spices, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, and onion. Mix well and leave to marinate for 2 to 2.5 hours.
Step 4:

Heat the sugar and oil in a sauté pan or small pot until browned, then immediately add the chicken pieces and quickly sear them on all sides.
Step 5:

Add a cup of water to the marinade and pour it into the pan with the chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 6:

Add the red beans and simmer for another 15–20 minutes with the beans.
Step 7:

Your homemade red beans with chicken are ready.

I made this homemade red beans with chicken based on a Caribbean recipe. I couldn't find a couple of the ingredients, but it still came out absolutely amazing! I can say for sure that the star of this dish is the thick, spiced sauce that develops from searing and braising.
