Tender chicken breasts seasoned with zesty taco spices, paired with fresh vegetables and topped with a velvety cheese sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup corn
  • Bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, allowing it to shimmer.
  3. Carefully lay in the seasoned chicken and let it sizzle, cooking until golden brown and cooked through—about 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.
  5. Using the same skillet, add the diced tomatoes, corn, bell peppers, and black beans.
  6. Cook for 5-6 minutes, softening the vegetables.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the vegetable mixture.
  8. Stir gently until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
  9. Slice the rested chicken breasts and return them to the skillet, mixing everything together.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Monitor cooking times to prevent overcooking the chicken; use fresh cheese for better melting qualities.
