From the Pinaholic: Baked Chicken with Baked Beans

So it’s one of those nights where it has been a busy day, and you haven’t decided on anything for dinner. The hour is fast approaching, your stomach is growling, and nothing has been set out to defrost. On top of all that you haven’t been grocery shopping so you’re working with a limited arsenal. What to eat?

Well some common American household foods are frozen chicken breast and baked beans. Both yummy items and both compliment each other’s taste palettes superbly. However, there is one more common ingredient that makes this a delicious dish. Ketchup or your favorite BBQ sauce!

With 3 ingredients this dish is super easy and totally delicious. Most certainly mark this down as another Pinterest success!

Ingredients

1.75 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breast

2 28 oz. cans of baked beans

4 teaspoons of Ketchup or BBQ sauce

Tip:

If you are defrosting your chicken breast last minute fill the kitchen sink up with hot water. Allow to soak between 5-10 minutes depending on amount and sizes. I find I like this method more so than the microwave. –The Pinaholic

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix the ketchup/BBQ sauce with the baked beans. Put the chicken breast into a casserole dish and pour the baked beans over them. Place into oven until chicken is done, about 1 hour. (Longer if the chicken breast is frozen at the start.)

Number of Servings: 8

With a dish this simple, why not try it out? Unless of course you are a vegetarian because then I can understand the lack of enthusiasm. Seriously though, if you are not a vegetarian and you like chicken & baked beans this is a great dish to try.
