Kidney beans with chili and chicken

It has been a few days again since my last post. One of the reasons is that we went away for the weekend, normally the weekend is when I have time to cook more and also to post something. Anyway on tuesday I tried a new recipe with kidney beans and chicken, normally we use minced meat, but this was really good as well, worth to try. I made enough ingredients for 4 people, the left overs are now in the freezer for one of those left over days ;-)

The ingredients you need for 4 people:

• 300 gr chicken breast cut in dices
• 1 leak in small rings
• 2 pots diced tomatoes (400 gr. each)
• 1 pot kidney beans (400 gr.)
• 1 pot corn (350 gr.) 
• 1 tea spoon chili flakes
• 1,5 tea spoon ground cumin
• White rice, depending on how many people, we made 250 gr. for 3.

In a pan warm some olive oil, bake the chicken for about 5 minutes, then add the leak baking another 3 minutes. Add the cumin and the tomatoes, cover the pan and cook for about 15 minutes, scoop every now and then.

After that add the beans, corn and chili flakes, warm up for about 5 minutes. Then spiced with some salt and pepper. Serve together with the rice and some bread. 

Of course you can change some of the ingredients, like instead of chicken use then minced meat, when you bake the meat add the cumin, that gives extra taste. Also instead of kidney beans you could use brown beans, or replace the leak for some red onions. All possibilities are good! I wonder how you are going to prepare ...
