I sauteed some garlic, some of my dried herbs from my pantry and then added the chicken and beans. Super, super easy, quick and absolutely delicious. I can eat this every single day.
I served this with a quick green salad made with avocado, cucumbers and greens and it was super filling and satisfying.
