This Thai Chicken with Black Beans is an exotic mix of flavors.
This Thai Chicken is simmered in a delicious black bean sauce. The combo of flavors is quite intoxicating – not as exotic had I added coconut milk – but the peanut butter and curry gives this dish a tantalizing flavor that makes you want to savor each and every bite.
