Tomatillo Chicken With Black Beans image

Blackened veggies and salsas make me think summer! Found in Pampered Chef's "Cooking for Two or More". What a lovely recipe, which sounds much more complicated than it actually is! The salsa makes the dish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a can of corn and a chopped green bell pepper.
