Mexajita Chicken

This recipe was good from the aspect that it was extremely easy.  The prep time was maybe 10 minutes or so.  That being said, however, I wasn’t particularly impressed with the end result.  It wasn’t bad by any measure, but it probably isn’t something that I’d make for guests.

I think I’ll try making this again, except maybe this time I’ll stab some holes in the chicken to allow some of the flavors/spices to actually seep down into the meat.

3 tablespoons canola oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast, rinsed and patted dry
Salt and pepper
2 (16-ounce) cans pinto beans, undrained
2 (10-ounce) cans Mexican diced tomatoes
