Chicken and Black Bean Pie
6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons cilantro (finely chopped), divided
  • 7 oz quesadilla cheese
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 (11-oz) box frozen ripe plantains
  • 1 prepared pie crust
  • 1 Deli chilled rotisserie chicken (or 2 cups shredded cooked chicken)
  • ¼ cup mojo marinade
  • 1 (15.25-oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)

Prep

    • Preheat oven to 400°F.
    • Chop cilantro.
    • Shred cheese (about 1 ½ cups).
    • Chop one-half of the onion (½ cup).
    • Cut plantains into small pieces.

Steps

    1. Pre-bake pie crust following package instructions.
    2. Shred enough chicken to equal 2 cups. (Time-Saver Tip: You probably won’t use the whole chicken for this recipe. Start by removing the large pieces of breast meat. Then, later, remove the remaining meat for another use.) Combine chicken, plantains, onions, mojo, and 2 tablespoons cilantro; transfer to pie crust.
    3. Top with a layer of beans, then cheese. Cover loosely with foil; bake 15-20 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.
    4. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cilantro; drizzle with olive oil. Serve.
