Tim's Notes
Chicken (alternate method):
We prefer skinless chicken breasts over thighs, but most chefs have a thing for the "moistness" of thighs.
- Before Step 1, preheat 3 tbsp oil in dutch oven (or stockpot) over medium-high heat.
- Sear whole chicken (seasoned with salt, pepper, and chef's choice) for 2-3 minutes per side until brown but not fully cooked.
- Add to pot in step 2 to finish cooking for 15 minutes.
- Remove and shred with forks.
- Add back to pot with black beans in step 3.
Don't overcook chicken or it can become rubbery.
