On the other day I cooked ‘Pork & Beans’ replacing Pork with Chicken, and it was delicious. If you don’t eat Pork with any reasons, you may wish to try this ‘Chicken & Beans’. Today I added more Vegetables including Celery, and Tabasco for a little kick in the flavour, and this dish turned out absolutely divine!!!
