This is a classic chicken dish that is made super easy by making it a one pot meal.

In a large skillet, add chicken with dressing and cook over medium-high heat. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until browned.

Add broth to pan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add beans and cook 5 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked completely.
