Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important to cook it over medium heat and not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a Good Quality Salsa: The salsa is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a salsa that is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, and peppers.
  • Serve with Toppings: This dish is delicious on its own, but it's even better when served with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Santa Fe Skillet is a quick and easy one-pan meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of chicken, salsa, corn, and black beans. And best of all, it's a healthy and delicious meal that the whole family will love.
