I just made this last night and the family loved it. I am always looking for new chicken recipes too, so I don't wind up doing the same old same old.

This was with frozen chicken breasts, next time I would thaw to speed up the cooking.
Coat pan with olive oil and cook chicken breasts. Season with Adobo seasoning.
Remove cooked breasts from pan.
Place one can of black beans and 1/2 cup of salsa into same pan, simmer.
Cut up the chicken breasts and add back into the pan with the bean mixture.
Top with some shreded chedder if you like and serve over rice.

My family loved it, it was very filling and easy to prepare. So this made up recipe is a keeper for us. I will probably play around with it some, maybe adding peppers and cilantro.
