Salsa Chicken with Mixed Beans

If you are a meat-eater, this is a very substantial meal that is great to feed a crowd. (And this is finally one of my own, all previous entries are actually Liza's - thanks Liza!

Enough beans to cover the bottom of a large casserole dish - preferably dried beans which have been soaked overnight.
5 or 6 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
large bottle of salsa (organic is best and of course check the sugar content)

In a skillet, pre-cook the chicken about 85% of the way, to reduce bake time.
In a large casserole dish, cover the bottom with a thick layer of mixed beans, whatever you like. Place the chicken on top of the beans and then smother in salsa.
Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes or until chicken/beans are thoroughly cooked. If mixture starts to look dry, add water and cover with foil for remainder of bake time.
