Where's the Beans?

Hello,

In my Betty Crocker's Best Chicken Cookbook (Super Express... 30 Minutes or Less Chapter), I seem to be missing something. The recipe title is, "Easy Mexican Chicken and "Beans".

The list of ingredients doesn't list any beans. The instructions and picture both use beans. What kind of beans and how much?

Thanks,

Barbara

Hi Barbara,

Sorry about that. Here is the complete recipe from Betty Crocker.

Health Twist

Boost your fiber with beans. Filled with many other important nutrients, beans are an excellent source of fiber that's so important for good blood glucose management and to keep your digestive tract moving.

Substitution

Stir-fry chicken strips not available? Buy the same weight of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and cut up the meat yourself.

Substitution

If you'd prefer, pinto beans can be substituted for the black beans.
