Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 85%. This score is super. Salsa Verde Chicken with Black Beans, Black Beans And Rice With Chicken And Apple Salsa, and Black Beans And Rice With Chicken And Apple Salsa are very similar to this recipe.

Pinot Noir, Sparkling Wine, and Riesling are great choices for Salsa. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.

Stoltz Organic Pinot Noir

This Pinot shows well with its deep rich color and floral aroma for an organic Columbia Gorge Pinot noir. Everything is in order for this wine to either welcome years of aging or be drunk on the spot.

Instructions

  1. We'll start with the beans because they take a little longer (assuming you already have the chicken cooked and shredded).
  2. Into a saute pan, over medium heat, add a few drizzles of olive oil, the bell pepper, onion and garlic. Saut until they've got a bit of color and have softened some.
  3. Add in the beans and water/broth. Using a potato masher break up the beans a bit.
  4. Allow to simmer for about 10-12 minutes, until thickened to the consistency of a refried bean. Season with salt and pepper. Finish with a squeeze of lime and a handful of chopped cilantro. So yummy!!!!!
  5. Heres what I did for the shredded chicken. I started out by popping 3 chicken breasts, a tsp of peppercorns, a bay leaf and a quart of broth into the slow cooker and letting it go on low for 2.5 hours. Once it was done I shredded the chicken using two forks then popped the chicken right back into the broth. I made this for several different meals, including yesterdays soup, so you only use a portion here.
  6. All you have left to do is warm the chicken in a small pan with the salsa. Once warmed through, give a little squeeze and the cilantro.
