Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs (681g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 large (230g) red onion (sliced)
  • 1 (150g) bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup (165g) corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 15-ounce can (260g) black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup (240g) ‘Herdez’ roasted salsa roja
  • 1/2 cup (56g) “Kraft” 2% Mexican style four cheese blend
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat one teaspoon of oil in a large, nonstick, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Slice chicken breast and serve with sauteed bell peppers, onions, and beans. Enjoy with tortillas, If desired (macros not included).
  • Pounding the chicken first ensures faster, even cooking. Alternatively, thin-sliced boneless-skinless chicken breasts are available for purchase at most grocery stores.
  • Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place leftovers in a nonstick pan and cook over medium-high heat until heated through.
  • Substitute with any tomato-based salsa as desired. Macros may vary slightly.
