Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 green onions thinly sliced with greens and whites separated
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 ounces canned diced green chiles undrained
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup water
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
- ½ cup frozen corn
- 8-10 ounces Red Enchilada Sauce (1 can)
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cooked chicken breasts chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- sour cream for garnish
- Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the scallion whites and garlic to the pan. Stir constantly for 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add green chiles, tomatoes, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles and stir. Cover and cook for 7 minutes until noodles are almost al dente. (They'll finish cooking as the recipe goes on.)
- Uncover the skillet. Add the black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and chicken. Stir to combine. Cooked for 2-3 minutes until the corn is warmed through.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over top and let rest until melted. (You can pop the pan under your oven’s broiler to speed up the melting - if your pan is oven-safe.)
- Top with a dollop of sour cream, green onions, and lime wedges. Serve warm.
