Quick Meal: Pan Fried Chicken, Grilled Veggies and Black Beans

Tonight we decided it was time we introduced the world to Mario's dinner he created which we refer to as "Grill". When I was going to college, Mario developed the meal. I'd be at a night class and then come home to a tasty plate waiting for me.
This meal is great for weeknights, we make this at least once a month. The key to this dish is getting the vegetables on the stove as quick as possible. These veggies will take the majority of the time to cooking. We tend to use our two burner non stick griddle. I'm sure that any non-stick pan will do.

Ingredients:

• 4 carrots
• 4 zucchinis
  
• 1 large red onion
• 1 tbsp. canola oil
• Cajun spice
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 can of black beans
• 1 lb. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
• Non fat cooking spray

Instructions:
Cut vegetables on the bias and put into a bowl. Then add in oil and a generous amount of Cajun spice, depending on your preference. Mix everything together and put onto griddle on a medium high setting.
Mince garlic and set in a bowl. Dump out excess liquid from black beans. Mix black beans and garlic together and set in the microwave till needed.
Spray non-stick pan with cooking spray. Then pan fry chicken breasts. To make your chicken go further, cut the chicken in half horizontally then pound the chicken thin with a mallet.
When the chicken is almost done, zap the beans in the microwave. And there you go, serve it up and enjoy this yummy quick meal!
