  • The calories shown are based on the recipe serving 4, with 1 serving being 1 chicken breast and 1/4 of the bean and corn mixture. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. **
  • If you don't have black beans, you can substitute with pinto beans, kidney beans, or even chickpeas.
