Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cups Salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Uncooked white rice
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. The chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this stage. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the salsa, chicken broth, and uncooked white rice. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Add the black beans and frozen corn to the skillet and stir again.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, placing them on top of the rice mixture.
Step 7
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot. Optionally, serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of freshness.
