2 Chicken Breasts, skinless and boneless

1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes

2 cloves garlic, diced

1 c. frozen string beans

1 envelope instant mashed potatoes

METHOD:

In a small bowl, mix together all spices and sugar.  Dice the garlic.  Heat a frying pan and add oil.  Meanwhile, season the chicken on both sides with the spice mixture.  Cut the chicken into about 1″ chunks.  Add the garlic to the heated oil and let fry for about 1 or 2 minutes.  Add chicken and brown on all sides.  Remove from pan and add the wine and diced tomatoes and stir together.  Add the string beans and let cook for about 5 minutes.  Return the chicken to the pan and cover.  Simmer on a very low flame while preparing the mashed potatoes.

Put the cooked mashed potatoes on a plate and make a well in the middle of the “cloud”.  Add the chicken and vegetables and chow down!!
