Serves 4
Classic Points: 4pts
Points Plus: 6 pts


Ingredients: 
1lb skinless boneless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (I didn't use this)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15.5oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley ( I used dried and lightly sprinkled some one each serving)


Directions:

1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium/high heat. Add chicken and cook fully, transfer to plate.

2. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil, onion, jalapeno and garlic to skillet. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in beans, oj, oregano and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors are blended, about 2 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and cook until heated through, about 1 minute longer. Serve chicken topped with pineapple and parsley.
