Vive le Havana!



Perhaps this is not a "real" recipe per se since it is not from scratch, none the less is is very easy and very yummy! If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby I could ship you the sauce if you want to try it!

You will need:
A Crock Pot
4 ( or more or less) Free range chicken breasts
Organic black beans
1 Mango
2 Bananas
8 miniature sweet potatoes (these may be difficult to find, you could use sliced full size sweet potatoes for leave them out all together)
2 Jars of Mojito sauce from Trader Joe's

1 Bottle of Rioja Spanish red wine

Directions:
Throw the chicken breasts and one jar of Mojito sauce in the Crock Pot. I start with frozen chicken and set the Pot to 6 hours. (If you are using sweet potatoes
Right before dinner cook the black beans on the stove - if you want to be really healthy do not use oil. On low they cook up nicely in about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally or set to simmer if you have a simmer option on your stove. There is no need to mash them and be sure and NOT drain the juice especially if you are not using oil. Dry beans are not tasty.

10 minutes before you are about to eat add half (or more if you'd like) of the second jar of sauce to the Crock Pot. The old sauce will become kind of watery after cooking all day so the second round of sauce will thicken it.

Slice the mango and bananas.

Place a chicken breast in a low soup bowl, pour the Mojito sauce over the top, scoop some beans (and sweet potatoes) on the side. Arrange mango and banana slices.

Bon Appetit!
