4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups corn kernels, fresh, frozen or canned
1 1/2 cups salsa, fresh, drained of excess liquid
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
1 (4-ounce) can green chilies, chopped, (mild, medium or hot)
Sour cream, dollop for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9" x 13" casserole dish with cooking spray. Trim chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels.

Remove from oven, top with reserved chopped cilantro and serve chicken with veggie medley spooned over the top or on the side.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts remain juicy and flavorful, marinate them in the flavorful Santa Fe marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Use a variety of vegetables for the salsa, such as tomatoes, corn, black beans, and bell peppers, to add vibrant colors and textures to the dish.
  • Feel free to adjust the spice level of the salsa by adding more or less chili powder or cayenne pepper, depending on your preference.
  • If you prefer a crispier chicken, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and reduce the cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken with additional salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese for a complete and satisfying meal.
