sounds like you have great ingredients for a nice dinner. try putting them all together in a cooking dish and making a casserole.
ok so grill the chicken with the red pepper or just pan fry it or bake it whatever floats your boat, cut the potatoes into small pieces(not micrscopic) cut the onion put the onion garlic and potatoes together in a pan and bake them and then make the black beans reglar, if you have rice you can make black beans and rice, you will have red pepper chicken, garlic potaatoes and beans or beans and rice, and if you have some kind of vegtavble it will make a world of difference, even frozen vegtables, nothgin too fancy
keep it simple:
oil the chicken and season with salt and pepper, roast it in the oven at about 350 until the meat reaches 165 degrees.
Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, and season the same way. You can chop the garlic, pepper, and onion up and saute them in a pot with seasonings and add the black beans and simmer until wamred through. Add any spices you like to each of these to jazz them up if you like.
you could make a stir-fry.................
onion and garlic in the pan first...let it simmer...don't let the garlic turn brown otherwise it gets bitter...just add some peanut oil. maybe if you have a lime or two somewhere or a lemon you could add a bit of the rind...and then some of the juice later on...then put the chicken in, sliced, stir it around. and if you wanted to, add a bit of honey to counter-act the acidic juice of the lemon/lime and also i suggest adding some green vegetables like snow peas or spinach...
snow peas are great when you blanch them...you put them in a pot of hot water on the stove, keep them in there until they are a nice colour or for about 5 mins, then take them out and immediately put them in a bowl of cold water-ie refrigerated water. they get realllllly crispy. also, peanuts are delicious in stir-fry.
by red pepper i'm assuming you are meaning capsicum. not chilli...?
there are all sorts of fancy recipes for making them tender and marinated or something...but can't help you much with that.
black beans i've never cooked before, so couldn't help you, but i'm sure other people can and i'm sure there are recipes on the net too.
with the potatoes, you could boil them first for a bit, then take them out, chop them up into cubes, then either roast them, or fry them in another pan with a bit of thyme, rosemary, lemon juice and the rind too.
hope i helped.
After you wash the chicken, pat dry. Place in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 package of ranch dressing. Mix all together.. Pour over chicken and place in a pre-heated oven of 350 for 40 minutes .
Microwave the small potatoes.to almost done. slice or dice them when cool. you can have added fresh parsley, or 1 tsp of dried parsley, and 1 Tbls of butter, Place in a small skillet (salt and pepper to taste on you plate ) cook them slowly on back burner., 10-15 minutes before you sit down to eat..
The , red pepper, onion and black beans you have can be a cold salad. Cut up and put in a dish and add 1/2 cup of Italian dressing. You can add a cucumber if you have it.(cubed)........You don't need the garlic for anything this time.
Enjoy !
