Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 (16-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (16-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juice
- 1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. In a pot coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans, tomatoes with juice, green chiles, chili powder, cumin and coriander. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
