During the week I enjoy a one pan meal. Something easy to make with little mess to clean up. I came up with this salsa chicken recipe when I was low on time but wanted something full of flavor and packed with protein. You can pair this recipe with a side of rice or throw it in some tortillas. If you are trying to keep it extra healthy throw it on top of a head of lettuce. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (for less of a kick you can do 1/8 of a teaspoon)
- olive oil
- 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 16 oz jar of salsa, you'll want a thick and chunky jarred salsa
Directions
In a small bowl combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and chili powder. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breast. Coating the bottom of a large nonstick skillet with olive oil heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breast about 7 minutes a side or until no longer pink in the center. Flip the chicken a few times throughout the cooking. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cut up into bite size pieces. Place the chicken back in the skillet and add in the black beans, corn, and salsa. Stir and cook until heated through. Serve with rice, tortillas, on a head of lettuce, or whatever you desire. Enjoy!
