Black bean tomato chicken stew



Recommended Posts

So- made this for dinner tonight and thought I would share.

Need-

4 bone in chicken breasts or leg/thigh piece

1 large can black Beans

1 large can Tomato sauce ( not spaghetti sauce!)

2 small or one large onion

3 cloves garlic

1/2 c minced giardiniera in oil

3 tbl olive oil

Salt and pepper

In large deep fry pan with lid, add olive oil, diced onions and garlic. Sauté til onions are soft. Season with S and P

Wash and pat dry chicken pieces, season with pepper, and lightly brown in onion and garlic in pan.

Add one whole can of black Beans, including liquid, one can of tomato sauce, 1/2 c of giardiniera cover and simmer on med for one hour.

Remove and set aside chicken, reduce heat and simmer slowly to thicken sauce- about 10 min.

Serve alone, or as in my case for my hubby and kids, with Pasta. Spoon sauce and beans over chicken and enjoy!post-284996-14726889906109_thumb.jpg

So tonight my pouch is definitely hurting. Happens every now and again. Got all my Protein and liquids in, just hurting. I always cook too much for myself, so this meal will go half-eaten, but dinner is---post-284996-14732042697396_thumb.jpg

Egg, grilled veggies, some cottage cheese and a few chick peas. I like variety, so a little bite of everything will do. Here's hoping my pouch behaves.

Sorry you are having stomach pain.

Why do you think it's occurring ?

Thanks- it was really good. I'm not a recipe- follower when it comes to cooking most things - more adventuresome and fly by the seat of my pants. 95 percent of the time I will hit it out of the ball park.

Tummy issues? No clue. Have my 6 months at the end of the month. If it keeps up I'll have him do an EGD. Maybe a slight structure?

Thanks for asking

Instinctive cooking is the way to go as far as I'm concerned.

It took me a while to figure out what spices generally compliment things to my liking and I don't actually measure much at all.....unless I'm following a new recipe that intrigues me.

Good that you have that appointment soon. Hopefully they will get you dialed in on the culprit.

Hell....I'd almost look forward to another EGD. That was one of the most refreshing naps I've ever had....no kidding......then I came home and sleep all afternoon. I felt freaking great.

My 12 month appointment is next month. Really looking forward to it. I want to see the bloodwork results.

I hope I get the same nurse who took my blood on my pre-op appointments. Poor girl had to struggle to find a good vein.

She'll have no problem now as I'm flush with them, lol.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
