Chicken/Ham with Black Beans on Rice


This is a variation of a Cuban recipe. I had a scrawny piece of fried chicken left over and didn't quite know what to do with it. I'm still on my quest to increase our bean consumption so I found this really nice Cuban recipe which includes black beans. The addition of balsamic vinegar adds a nice depth of flavor to the dish.

Ingredients

1 piece fried chicken (you can just use 2-3 pieces of chicken or ham)
1 lb cubed ham (approx)
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
2-3 c dried black beans, soaked and cooked or pressured cooked for 20min
Balsamic vinegar, salt, garlic powder to taste
Oil for frying

Method

Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add some oil and fry the onions until soft. Add the meat and cook until no longer raw (if you're using raw meat), add cooked black beans. Season to taste. Serve over cooked long-grained rice.
