Ever find yourself frantically rummaging through the kitchen, too tired to think of what to make for dinner? Yep, us too.
Sometimes standing over the stove can feel like the hardest part of your day, which is why we teamed up with Heinz® and asked Masterchef winner, author and TV host Diana Chan to show us how to make magic with four main ingredients you probably already have lying around your kitchen.
Throw on your apron and get around this chicken cassoulet recipe with hearty Heinz® Baked Beanz. Best of all, it takes no time at all to whip up. Yep, you’ll want to bookmark this one for later.

While we absolutely adore our Heinz® Baked Beans on toast for brekky (or dinner, for that matter), there's nothing better than getting a little experimental in the kitchen to create a simple but totally delicious dish.
