  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
  • 15 oz can black beans drained
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Cover the pot and place in an oven that has been preheated to 350°.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees. Sprinkle with cheese the last 5 minutes of baking.

Notes

I cut the chicken breasts in half before serving them. You can serve them whole for just three servings.
