Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375˚F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine corn, black beans, green chiles, cilantro, and onion and mix.
  3. Season the chicken breast on both sides with salt, cumin and garlic powder, then lay flat in a large baking dish. Spoon the corn mixture over the chicken and top with cheddar cheese.
  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (165˚F internal temp.)
  5. Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and garnish with additional cilantro.

Notes

  • To help chicken cook more quickly and evenly, try using chicken breasts that are not too thick. Pound or slice them to reduce the thickness if needed.
  • Substitutions: Yellow corn can be used instead of white corn; you can also use a different variety of cheese. 
  • How to Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
  • How to Freeze: Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
  • How to Reheat: Reheat in the microwave until warmed through or covered in a 350ºF oven.
  • How to Scale: To scale up, use a larger baking dish or make the recipe in two baking dishes. Scale down by using a smaller baking dish.
