Southwestern Chicken with Bean Sauce Notes
- We splurge with more chopped red onions and add the sour cream and guacamole condiments.
- To season the refried beans, we use 1/4 cup diced onions, 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground cumin. In a medium saucepan, combine the beans with these additional ingredients and cook over Medium-Low heat until the onions have softened and the beans are creamy, about five (5) minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve with yellow or brown rice or a rice casserole and fresh fruit salad.
