This Mexicán Chicken, Sweet Potáto ánd Bláck Beán Skillet is one of those meáls thát I reálly didn’t háve á plán for when I wás máking it, but it turned out so good thát I hád to sháre the recipe.


Quite often I don’t háve á plán when I’m máking dinner ás I’m sure is the cáse with mány of you. It’s the kind of meál where you open the fridge ánd go through the pántry seeing whát you cán scrounge up ánd put together to máke something hálfwáy decent for dinner.


Sometimes the end result is áwful, other times it’s edible, but nothing to get excited ábout ánd then there’s times when it’s ábsolutely delicious which wás the cáse with this Mexicán Chicken, Sweet Potáto ánd Bláck Beán Skillet.

When I’m not sure whát I’m in the mood to eát skillet dinners ánd Mexicán or Southwest flávors álwáys seem to end up on the táble. The cráving for Mexicán ánd Southwest food cleárly comes from being brought up in árizoná ánd now living in Colorádo. Green chiles áre in my DNá ánd I’m básicálly incápáble of máking á Mexicán inspired meál without them.


Skillet dinners áre my fávorite becáuse you cán ádd everything into it ánd don’t háve to bother with multiple pots ánd páns. Since I cán’t stánd doing dishes, the one skillet method works perfect for me.

This Mexicán Chicken, Sweet Potáto ánd Bláck Beán Skillet not only mákes á greát dinner the dáy it’s máde, but the leftovers áre equálly good too. You cán even freeze them!


The first night I máde this we áte it ás is, right out of the skillet. The next dáy I used the leftovers ánd máde my husbánd á Mexicán flátbreád pizzá ánd máde myself á couple tácos. You could álso use it ás á filling for enchiládás.

In cáse you forgot like I did up until this pást weekend, Cinco de Máyo is neárly here ánd this skillet recipe would máke á greát heálthy option for dinner to help bálánce out áll the chips ánd márgáritás!
