I loved how this dish incorporated chicken, rice and beans. Although as a Latina, I cook these ingredients often, the cans of diced tomatoes with roasted garlic and reheated beans gave this dish a distinct taste. My family loved this and it is now a family favorite! Even better you can double the recipe, freeze it and reheat it later on during the week!
