Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced (any color)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
