Steps:

• Place a whole chicken in the Instant Pot with 1.5 cups filtered water on high pressure for 45 minutes. (You can also cook it in a Crock Pot on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.)
• Meanwhile, get one pound of dried and rinsed great Northern beans going in a large stockpot with a half gallon of bone broth. Allow them to simmer for 2-3 hours, or until they are almost soft.
• Pull the chicken out of the pressure cooker, or slow cooker, and pick all the meat from the bones. Roughly chop it.
• Once the beans are almost done, but not mushy, add the chicken, diced peppers, minced garlic, chopped onion and sweet corn to the pot.
• Add two tablespoons salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Allow it to simmer for another 30 minutes to an hour.
• Once the soup is about 5-10 minutes out from being served, add the chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice.
• Add more salt to taste. (We ended up using 3 tablespoons total).
• Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and a big old slice of Cast Iron Einkorn Cornbread.

FRIED CHILI CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into serving pieces. The breast pieces should be cut in half. Place the chicken in a bowl and cover with the buttermilk overnight.
• In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
• Heat enough oil to a depth of about 3/4-inch in a large heavy skillet. When the oil is medium hot dip the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and fry, without crowding the chicken. If necessary, use 2 skillets or fry in batches.
• Reduce the heat to medium and fry until the coating becomes a deep golden brown, turning the chicken as needed. The white meat should be done in 20 to 25 minutes, dark meat in about 35 minutes. Juices should run clear when the chicken is pricked with a fork. Squeeze lime juice over the chicken 10 minutes before it is done. Drain chicken on paper towels.

BONELESS CHICKEN BREASTS WITH RED CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Make red chili sauce:
• In a saucepan simmer chilies, onion, and garlic in water to cover 20 minutes and with a slotted spoon transfer to a blender. Add 1/2 cup cooking liquid, raisins, and salt and blend until smooth. Sauce may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
• Make chicken:
• While chilies are simmering, in a bowl stir together yogurt, garlic paste, cumin, and salt to taste. Add chicken and coat with marinade. Marinate chicken, covered and chilled, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 day.
• In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken with marinade clinging to it, skinned sides down, and sauté 1 minute on each side, or until golden-brown patches appear.
• Add chili sauce to skillet and bring to a simmer, uncovered, scraping up any brown bits. Transfer chicken mixture to a shallow baking pan just large enough to hold chicken in one layer and bake, covered, 15 minutes. Remove cover and sprinkle Münster over chicken. Remove pan from oven and let stand 1 minute to melt cheese.
