Steps:
- 1. Assemble your ingredients because this dish goes together quite quickly!
- 2. Whisk lime juice, olive oil, pepper and a teaspoon of each, garlic powder and salt.

- 5. Add chicken to marinade and stir to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. I have left it for overnight.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Add Vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. You can use any vegetables you like, such as corn, bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Pepper Jack are all good choices.
- Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique casserole.
Conclusion:
Chicken and black bean casserole is a delicious, easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy casserole recipe, give this one a try.
