2 chicken breasts, cooked with skin and bone removed
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans, rinse and drained

1 cup frozen peas
3 cups macaroni, dry (I use whole wheat)
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash tomato basil garlic seasoning (Italian Medley)

Steps:

  • Boil the macaroni according to package directions. While that is going, preheat a large skillet.
  • Dice the chicken and add the olive oil and chicken to hot skillet. Toss with a bamboo spoon for a few minutes or until chicken is starting to brown.
  • Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), drained and rinsed kidney beans, and frozen peas to the chicken. Cover and bring up to a simmer.
  • Remove lid, add seasoning and stir in the macaroni.
  • Serve immediately.
