Directions: |
Directions:1- Prepare the barbecue or preheat your stove top.
2- Combine the cheese spread with the cream in a small saucepan.
3- Saute' the red chili pepper and 2 tbs green chili pepper, 2 tbs onion, and 1/2 clove garlic in the olive oil for a couple minutes. Add the water to the pan so that the peppers do not scorch. Simmer another 2 minutes or until the water has cooked off.
4- When the cheese is smooth, add the sauteed vegetables, 1/4 tsp salt, sugar, vinegar, and cumin. Leave on low, stirring occasionally
5- Pour the entire can of beans with the liquid into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining green chili pepper, onions, garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of paprika. Bring the beans to a boil, stirring often, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until everything else is ready. Beans will have thickened and onions transparent.
6- Rub the chicken breasts lightly with oil, then season with salt, thyme, and savory.
7- Cook the breasts on a hot grill for 5 minutes per side or until done. When they have cooked thoroughly, remove them from the grill and slice each breast into 1/2-inch slices. Retain the shape of the chicken breast as you slice them.
8- As the chicken cooks, prepare the pasta in a large pot filled with 3 to 4 quarts of boiling water. Cook the pasta for 12 to 14 minutes or until tender. Drain the pasta in a colander, and toss with butter.
9- When everything is ready, spoon one-fourth of the pasta onto each plate.
10- Pour about 1/3 cup of the beans over the pasta.
11- Carefully add a sliced breast of chicken, being sure to maintain its shape as you lay the slices on the bed of pasta.
12- Spread 1/3 cup of black beans over chicken.
13- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of green onions on the tomatoes and serve immediately. |
