Chicken with Black Beans and Slow Cooker Veggie Mix

Both recipes are from the internet, but I forget where.

 

Chicken & Black Beans

1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite size chunks

1 can black beans

5 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetable oil

1/4 tsp salt

1 Tbs cornstarch

1/4 cup water

1/4 tsp sugar

1/2 Tbs oyster sauce

 

Rinse and mash the beans. Mix with the garlic. Heat a pan over medium heat add a bit of vegetable oil. Add the beans and garlic. Cook 2 minutes. Add the chicken and salt. Cook until the chicken is browned.

 

Meanwhile mix the cornstarch with the water. Once chicken is browned add cornstarch mixture along with the sugar and oyster sauce. Cook until sauce thickens.

 

Slow Cooker Veggie Mix

20oz hash brown potatoes

16 oz green beans

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp dried parsley

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of celery soup

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

 

Mix together the parsley, soup and tomatoes in your slow cooker. Then add the onion, green beans and potatoes.

 

Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.

 

The chicken was good, but next time I will add some pepper flakes to give it a bit more of a kick.

 

The veggie mix was average. It's a great mix and very easy to make, but needs a little something. The wife suggested going with some kind of Indian spice.

 

Both are easy and keepers.
