Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large/extra-large red bell pepper diced small
- 1 medium sweet Vidalia or yellow onion diced small
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles (I used fire-roasted)
- 3 to 5 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 2 to 3 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
- 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed (I used no-salt added)
- 1 to 1.5 cups corn (I used frozen; you can add it directly to the skillet from the freezer)
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- fresh cilantro for garnishing
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the oil, chicken, red pepper, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables have softened. Stir and flip frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Add the green chiles, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, optional cayenne, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the black beans, corn, stir, and cook for about 1 minute, or until warmed through.
- Evenly sprinkle the green onions, cilantro, and serve immediately.
