This is one of the easiest one-pot meals yet! It’s healthy, fast, and works great for making ahead of time. It’s also doesn’t feel like you’re eating healthy, which for some people, is the best part. (Hint, hint: It’s also another one of my dinner recipes that my husband requests time and time again!)
Try it for your family tonight and you’re sure to get rave reviews!

Tips: You can add some additional flavor by mixing in salsa instead of diced tomatoes. This recipe also works really well with my Easy 5 Ingredient, 5 Minute Guacamole. Try it tonight!
