This dish is delicious and high in fiber. It is very filling and has a “comfort food” appeal. Chicken thighs are small in size and economical.

Ingredients

• 1 ancho or mild chili pepper, seeded, and diced
• 4 chicken thighs, skin and bone removed
• 1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

1. Spray a nonstick pan with cooking oil spray and heat over medium heat. Saute the diced chili pepper until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken and allow it to brown on one side then add the beans, broth, and seasoning. Bring them to a gentle boil then bake them in a 375-degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is done.
2. Chef's Tips: You can serve this dish with a salad or steamed vegetables. A half-baked potato makes it a little hearty.
