Description

A delicious and colorful one-pan dish featuring juicy chicken, vibrant bell peppers, corn, and black beans, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, letting it shimmer and warm up.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest to keep the juices inside.
  5. Add the chopped bell peppers, corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  6. Slice the chicken into strips and return it to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is hot.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

A splash of lime juice drizzled before serving enhances flavors. Experiment with added ingredients like jalapeños or sour cream for extra flavor.
