Sweet & Spicy Black Bean Chicken

1 pkg. boneless skinless chicken breasts (4-6 depending on the amount you need)
1 (8-oz) can of diced pineapples, semi-drained (a little liquid is fine but no the whole can)
2 Tblsp. apple cider vinegar
1 to 1 1/2 c. cooked black beans*
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
salt, pepper, garlic powder & paprika to taste

In sauce pot combine pineapple, cider vinegar, beans and red pepper flakes. Stir. Simmer on medium heat until heated through. Keep mixture warm, over low heat, while preparing chicken.

Preheat a non stick or lightly greased skillet. Meanwhile season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder & paprika. Season both sides of chicken.

*when using homemade or canned black beans, don't add too much bean juice to the sauce pot or your topping will be watery in consistency.
