Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ½ teaspoon each: salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- 1 ½ cups chunky salsa
- ½ cup frozen corn
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese a mix of white and orange cheddar is nice
- cilantro to serve
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so that you have 4 thinner pieces. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan.
- Add the salsa and corn to the pan and stir, scraping up any bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the chicken back into the pan. Cover the pan and let the chicken simmer in the salsa for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Top with the cheese then cover the pan and let the cheese melt, about 1 minute. Serve with some cilantro over the top.
