Serve with the toppings, or refrigerate and reheat gently before serving.

CHICKEN CHILI WITH BLACK BEANS



Chicken Chili with Black Beans image

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

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN WITH CORN AND BLACK BEANS



Chili-Lime Chicken with Corn and Black Beans image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
One 15-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, from 1 large or 2 small ears fresh corn, or frozen
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

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.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, be sure to do it in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Use a variety of beans: In addition to black beans, you can also use pinto beans, kidney beans, or any other type of bean you like.
  • Add some spice: If you like your chili spicy, be sure to add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or diced jalapeños.
  • Let the chili simmer: The longer you simmer the chili, the more flavorful it will be. So be sure to give it at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is the perfect dish to serve with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
