Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons cumin
4 ounces diced green chiles
2 black beans, 15oz cans
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 pounds chicken
2 cups chicken stock

Steps:

Heat oil in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add sausage and cook until starting to crisp around edges, about 2 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes longer. Add cumin and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chilies, dried black beans, cilantro stems, chicken, and broth. Season gently with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Seal pressure cooker and bring to high pressure. Cook for 40 minutes. Cool pressure cooker under a cold running tap (if using an electric cooker, use the quick release valve), and open. Using tongs, transfer chicken pieces to a bowl. Discard cilantro stems. Return beans to high heat and continue cooking, stirring, until reduced to a thick, stew-like consistency, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, shred chicken from bones and discard skin.
Stir chicken into beans, season to taste with salt and pepper, stir in half of chopped cilantro, and serve
