Story

Don't you just love skillet meals!? Everything gets cooked in one big skillet so cooking, serving, and clean up is so simple. This recipe has it all - meat, beans, veggies, and even the rice thrown in. Yummy!
I actually prefer using chicken thighs, just because they are so moist and so cheap! But, if you're a white meat fan, go ahead and use the chicken breasts. Another way to add more flavor is to use bone-in chicken breasts with the skins on. You can remove the skins if you don't want the fat, but the flavor is improved.
