If you forgot to soak the beans, it doesn't matter, 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 will cook just as quickly. Well, if you cook beans not soaked in advance, then spend at least two or even three hours on this.

2. Peel the chicken meat (we don't need it) and cut into convenient pieces. It is best to use meat with bones: drumsticks, thighs or ham, as 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 the onions to the meat to fry first, 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 them by dipping them in boiling water for a minute, and finely chop the stalks and add to the dish. Simmer the resulting gravy for a few minutes.

5. Drain any remaining liquid from separately cooked beans and mix with the gravy. Tint with your favorite spices, if necessary. If the beans seem a bit dry, add more water. Simmer it with meat for about 5-10 minutes. The bean stew with chicken and vegetables will be very tender and will melt in your mouth.

6. Add finely chopped herbs of your choice. Serve hot. Bon Appetit!

Thoroughly rinse fresh chicken fillet under cold running water, dry it with paper kitchen towels, put it on a cutting board and remove the film, cartilage, and small pieces of fat from it with a sharp kitchen knife.

This delicious and colorful dish, canned chicken with beans, I wanted to make today, on a quiet cloudy autumn day. I cook beans very rarely, not because I don't like them, but somehow I forget about them, and it takes a long time to cook. And then I remembered a recipe that a friend of mine recently shared with me and it uses canned red beans. I decided to bring this recipe to life.

When I cooked this dish, I decided to call it "Autumn Blues", because the riot of colors on the plate reminded me very much of last weekend, when my daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren and I were walking in the park. It was very beautiful!

While you learn the recipe, play the video and listen to Raimonds Pauls's wonderful Autumn Blues.

Chicken with canned beans

Ingredients:

• canned red beans in their own juice
• chicken breast
• carrot
• onion
• green beans

• tomato ketchup
• vegetable oil

Chicken with Beans in Tomato Sauce Recipe:

1. Cut the chicken breast into thin small medallions. Pour vegetable oil into the pan (it is better if it is large in diameter and not deep), heat and put the chicken meat. Fry it quickly without covering. Fry until the juice, which has released the meat, has completely evaporated. The meat fried in this way will be juicy and tasty. Put the finished chicken fillet in another frying pan with high sides.
2. Wash, peel and grate the carrots either on a coarse grater or on a grater for Korean carrots.
3. Wash the onions, peel them and chop finely.
4. Put in the pan in which the chicken was fried, add a little vegetable oil, carrots and onions and fry a little.
5. I decided to add a little color to this dish, this was not in the recipe that my friend shared with me. In the pan where the carrots and onions were fried, I put green beans and green peas. These bright green vegetables were in my freezer and you don't need to defrost them in advance, put them in the pan right away and continue to fry until tender.
6. Add ready-made vegetables to the chicken, also add canned beans, after draining the juice. To mix everything.
7. Making tomato sauce - dilute a little tomato ketchup with water and add to the dish. Perfect for this, I always prepare it myself, it is much tastier and healthier than the store one. If this dish is made in summer, then tomato sauce can be made from fresh tomatoes.
8. Stir all ingredients, cover and simmer together. After 5 to 7 minutes, the chicken and canned beans are ready.

Serve hot. It is self-sufficient and can be served without a side dish. If, after all, there is nothing without a side dish, then you can serve it with pasta or with boiled rice.
