Skillet Chicken With Black Beans and Rice

I work long hours so I'm always looking for a good meal I can freeze and take to work as I need it. This meal works great and the best part? It's healthy too.

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  uncooked chicken breasts
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 2  garlic cloves, crushed

Directions

1. Slice the chicken breasts at an angle to make 1/2-3/4 inch thick slices.
2. Preaheat olive oil on skillet to medium high.
3. Just as the olive oil starts to 'smoke' reduce heat to medium and add the garlic.
4. Quickly stir until the garlic is just aromatic (15-20 seconds) and add chicken.
5. Continue to cook on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned.
6. Remove the chicken from skillet and set aside.
7. Add 1 tbsp water to the skillet and scrap until the drippings are glazed.
