Description
A vibrant and comforting dish bursting with southwest flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can diced Ro-tel tomatoes
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
- 2 teaspoons southwest spices
- 1 cup Tex-Mex cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, letting it warm up until it shimmers beautifully.
- Season the chicken breasts with a generous sprinkle of salt, pepper, and southwest spices, enhancing their flavors.
- Place the chicken in the skillet, allowing it to brown and cook through — about 6-7 minutes per side should do the trick until they are golden and fully cooked.
- Once the chicken is done, add the black beans, Ro-tel tomatoes, and corn to the skillet, stirring well to combine everything into one inviting dish.
- Let it simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through, allowing those comforting flavors to meld together.
- Top with the Tex-Mex cheese, letting it melt beautifully over the bubbly mixture.
- Serve hot, either with your favorite warm tortillas or over a fluffy bed of rice for the ultimate cozy comfort plate.
Notes
Feel free to add lime juice or diced jalapeños for a refreshing twist or spicy kick. Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
