Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Black Bean Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chicken and the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix until all the liquid is absorbed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat your wok over high heat, until it starts to smoke. This step is essential, as it prevents the chicken from sticking to the wok. With your spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken, and quickly spread the pieces into a single layer. Let the chicken cook for about 30 seconds, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The chicken is done once it turns opaque--be careful not to overcook it. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a dish, and set aside.
• Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger, and let it cook for 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the black beans. Stir for another 30 seconds. Now turn up the heat to high. Add the green and red peppers, and stir fry for about a minute. Add the sugar, Shaoxing wine, salt, the chicken, 2 tablespoons of water, and the green parts of the scallion. Quickly stir-fry everything well to coat in the sauce, and serve!

STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Soak the black beans in the wine. Meanwhile, put a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the onion. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion.
• Still over high heat, add the remaining oil to the pan, then the remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, add the chicken, stir again, then let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to medium, add the scallion, and toss. Return the onion to the pan and add the sugar if you're using it and the soy sauce. Toss again, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the beans with their liquid and the stock. Raise the heat to high and cook, stir-ring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about a minute. Turn off the heat, drizzle on the sesame oil, garnish with scallion, and serve.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the black bean sauce. Reserve in the pan off heat. Preheat oven to 450°. Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, cut each breast lengthwise making a pocket for stuffing as large as possible without cutting through the edges on the other sides. Set aside on a plate. 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the cheeses, onion, chile, oregano, and cilantro. Fill each chicken breast pocket equally with the mixture. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with oil. 3. Heat a stovetop grill pan or large skillet over medium heat. (If using a skillet, pour in about 1 tablespoon cooking oil. Do not oil a grill pan.) Cook the stuffed breasts until lightly browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. 4. Transfer the pan with the chicken to the oven and roast until the meat is white throughout, about 15 minutes. To serve, reheat the sauce and spoon some of the sauce on each of 4 serving plates and top with a chicken breast. Sprinkle each serving with cilantro.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
