A healthy and tasty answer to the eternal question, "What's for supper?"

Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and chili powder in a paper or
plastic bag.  Shake chicken breasts, a few pieces at a time, in flour
mixture until well coated.  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium
heat.  Cook chicken in hot oil about 10 minutes or until chicken is lightly
browned, turning to brown evenly.  Drain off fat.

Combine black beans, undrained tomatoes, chiles, green pepper, onion,
olives, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl; mix well.  Pour bean mixture
over chicken in skillet.  Bring to boiling, then reduce heat.  Simmer,
covered, about 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
Serve over hot cooked rice.
