Chicken with beans
4 servings
40 minutes
A quick and tasty option for a simple dinner when a can of beans is gathering dust on the shelf and chicken is waiting in the fridge for its time. If you add sweet pepper to the frying pan, you will get a free interpretation of the Mexican dish - fajitas. In general, this dish is good because the range of ingredients is limited only by your imagination: you can add broccoli, zucchini, and any other vegetables that are on hand. You can also weigh it down with any available cereal.
