One-Dish Rosemary Chicken and White Beans

Tonights dinner came to me through an email from Myrecipes.com.. when I opened this email I knew this was what we were having tonight.. it looked SO GOOD! It was quick to fix, ingredients I mostly had on hand and was a one pan meal.. after the week I've been having it was all I needed to feel better... especially since last night's dinner was a buffalo chicken sandwich from Checkers that was so spicy I thought my mouth was going to start spouting flames! All I had to do for tonight's dinner was pick up a pack of chicken and a can of stewed tomatoes and I was good to go.. and believe it or not, it tastes even more wonderful than it looks!
