CHILI-LIME CHICKEN WITH CORN AND BLACK BEANS
Here, tender chicken breast is seasoned with a flavorful chili-lime rub, then skillet cooked and served atop a saute of hearty black beans, sweet corn, and fresh tomatoes warmed until barely bursting. It is made savory and given a gentle heat with onion, garlic, and a kiss of jalapeno. (If you like a lot of heat, feel free to add more jalapeno and/or more cayenne in the rub for the chicken.) Finished with a bright note of lime juice, fresh cilantro, and creamy avocado, this is a colorful, satisfying meal that is on point any season of the year, and destined to become a go-to favorite.

Steps:
- Combine the chili powder, lime zest, cumin, granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in a little with your fingers.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until they soften, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, then stir in the beans, tomatoes, and corn and cook until all the vegetables are softened but still retain their shape, about 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Divide the vegetable mixture among four plates. Slice the chicken and divide it among the plates along with some avocado. Sprinkle each with lime juice and cilantro and serve.
CHICKEN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS
Because it looks different than traditional chili, my family was a little hesitant to try this dish at first. Thanks to the full, hearty flavor, it's become a real favorite around our house. I like to serve it with warm cornbread. -Jeanette Urbom, Louisburg, Kansas

Steps:
- Chop whole onion.
- Heat nonstick pan large enough to hold all filling ingredients until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high, and add oil. Saute the onions until they begin to soften and brown.
- Meanwhile, mince the garlic and add. Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno, and add. Stir in the cumin and chili powder.
- Drain and rinse the beans. When onions have softened, add the beans, oregano, tomatoes, beer and vinegar, and continue to cook at a simmer while preparing the rest of the meal.
- Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil, and heat in a toaster oven about 5 minutes, until heated through.
- Wash, trim and slice scallions.
- Two minutes before it is time to serve the chili, add the corn and stir well to heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the chili, topped with scallions and sour cream, with warm tortillas.

- Add a tablespoon of chili powder and a teaspoon of cumin for a more traditional chili flavor.
- To make the chili vegetarian, omit the chicken and add an extra can of black beans.
