Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes (with or without green chilies, depending on your heat preference)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced chicken until it’s cooked through and golden brown.
- Toss in the chopped onion, bell peppers, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the veggies are tender and aromatic—around 5-7 minutes.
- Add the black beans and diced tomatoes to the chicken mixture, stirring until combined. Allow it to simmer gently for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the corn and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover the skillet to help the cheese melt, which should take around 2-3 minutes.
- Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
Meal Prep: You can easily prep the chicken and veggies in advance, reducing your workload on busy days. Feel free to swap ingredients: If you have leftover rotisserie chicken or prefer another protein like shrimp or tofu, feel free to make substitutions! Spicy? You Got It!: If you like it hot, add some jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the mix.
