- Step 3 Add stock, garlic, cumin and chili powder. Simmer, uncovered until beans are soft, about 1 1/2 hour adding more broth as necessary.
- Step 4 Stir in tomatoes about 20 minutes before beans are done and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Step 5 CHICKEN Crack the breast bones to flatten. Rub breasts with oil and season with remaining ingredients.
- Step 6 Then roast in a preheated 350f oven about 30 minutes being sure not to overcook.
- Step 7 Cool slightly and remove meat from bones. (If boneless breasts are used, grilling is preferable since they would dry out quickly if roasted).
- Step 8 Serving Place a generous portion of beans in large flat soup bowl.
- Step 9 Slice chicken thinly, keeping skin on and place on top of the beans.
- Step 10 Garnish with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and a warm quesadilla.
