Right after I got married, an aunt gave me her recipe for skillet spaghetti and told me it was ideal for a quick weeknight meal. Over the years I've tinkered with the ingredients and played with the seasonings to make it a healthier dish that my family truly loves. -Kristen Killian, Depew, New York

Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola oil
3 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1/2" pieces)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 red pepper (diced)
1/2 small onion (diced)
1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
540 ml can black or kidney beans, drained and rinsed (19oz )
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
28 oz canned diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups dry macaroni (I used high fiber white)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

In a large skillet over high heat, cook chicken breasts in canola oil until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with seasoning salt.
Meanwhile, chop your red pepper, onion and spinach and add to the pan. Cook over high heat, stirring often, until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add beans, garlic and chili powder and cook 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, barbecue sauce, broth, salt and macaroni and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until pasta is al dente and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 9-10 minutes, stirring often. Stir in cheese (will continue to thicken as it sits and the cheese melts). Serve.
