Chicken with Cannellini Beans
November 14, 2011 - 2 Comments by Mishi - {NaBloPoMo}
This whole meal cost me under $10.00 to make to feed our whole family of six. Not to mention it was hella flavorful and satisfying!
Ingredients:
- cooking spray
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
- 2 tbs chopped fresh continental parsley (you can certainly use dried parsley—I did!)
- 4-6 chicken breast fillets (I seasoned mine with lemon pepper, early in the day)
- Steamed green beans (with butter and salt)
Instructions:
- Heat a saucepan over medium-low heat, and coat with cooking spray. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and pepper flakes, stirring, for 1 minute or until your mouth starts salivating because of the wonderful aroma.
- Add the diced tomatoes. Up the heat to high and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cannellini beans, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in half the parsley.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan (I actually use my electric skillet because that baby knows how to cook meat) over med-high heat. Spray with canola oil spray. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is done plate by topping with the cannellini bean/tomato mixture and remaining parsley. Serve with steamed green beans.
- ENJOY!
