1C mushrooms (I used dried chanterelles that I harvested in PEI last month)

1 Tbsp corn starch

1 chopped stem of green onion

Olive oil (I used blood orange infused because… you guessed it, that’s what I had around)

Salt & Pepper to taste

Method

  1. Start a pot of water to boil for the pasta. (But don’t cook it yet until I tell you!)
  2. Brown the onions in a medium frying pan on medium with olive oil.
  3. While the onions are browning, dust the chicken in the corn starch and some salt and pepper.
  4. Add the chicken to the onions and brown the chicken. 5-8min
  5. While the chicken is browning mix the tomatoes, green onions, oregano, salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar in a bowl.
  6. Add the mushrooms to the pan until tender.
  7. Add the tomato mixture to the chicken/onions/mushrooms and let simmer.
  8. Remember that pot of water you had boiling? Now add the black bean pasta and cook until desirable firmness.

  10. Add the chicken and enjoy!
