I had a can of chili beans in my pantry and decided to add it to one of my standby chicken recipes. I hope you enjoy the new and interesting taste.

Ingredients

3-1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
1/2 cup soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, optional
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 can (16 ounces) hot chili beans, undrained
1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1-1/4 cups water

Directions

Bone and skin chicken; cut into bite-size pieces. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and cumin if desired; add chicken. Seal bag; refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Drain chicken, discarding marinade.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon; set aside. Saute celery in drippings for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add the beans, water chestnuts and mushrooms; cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Add chicken.
Combine the cornstarch, water and remaining soy sauce until smooth; stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with rice.
