Zesty Chicken

1   30 oz can chilli beans (NO MEAT)
chicken of your choice (I prefer boneless, skinless breasts)
1  14 oz green enchilada sauce
2  pkgs taco seasoning*
grated sharp cheese

In a 9x13 empty can of chilli beans. Roll chicken in taco seasoning and place over beans. Pour green sauce over chicken. Bake 1 hour at 375. Cover with cheese. Allow cheese to melt and serve warm.

Depending on how many people I'm cooking for I use anywhere from 4 to 6 chicken breasts. Sometimes I cut them into strips or halves. I've even used bone-in chicken and it's just as delicious.

This is a regular at our home. It's so easy to have a few simple ingredients on hand for such a yummy and quick meal. I serve it with Spanish rice, salad, and tortillas. Kudos to my mother in law who passed this recipe to us from her friend Pat!!!


* I use a homemade taco seasoning. See previous post.
