Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced (any color)
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in the corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
