Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 15-ounce can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In the skillet, heat the oil, then add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Cut the cooked chicken breasts into thick slices and return them to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the cream cheese in small dollops around the skillet and gently stir it into the mixture until melted and combined.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and allow the cheese to melt for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with rice, tortillas, or your favorite side dish.
