Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless (skinless chicken breast)
  • 1 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained )
  • 1 cup corn (see note)
  • 1 can diced green chiles
  • 1/2 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

  1. 1

     Mix the garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine the corn, black beans, green chiles, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro and mix well.

  3. 3

    In a large casserole dish, lay the chicken breast flat in the baking dish.  Sprinkle with seasonings, then spread the corn mixture evenly over it. Add cheese to top it off.

  4. 4

    Bake uncovered at 375˚F for 40-50 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 160˚F. If the cheese starts to get too brown for your liking, loosely cover with foil for the remainder of the cook time.

    Serve warm and enjoy!
