  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 13 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or spicy)
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)


Instructions

Making Southwest Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they are not overlapping.

3. Add Salsa: Pour the salsa evenly over the chicken, making sure it’s well-coated.

4. Add Black Beans: Sprinkle the black beans over the salsa-covered chicken.

5. Add Corn: Add the corn on top, distributing it evenly.

6. Add Cheese: Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheese over everything, covering the ingredients generously.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

8. Rest & Serve: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing to retain the juiciness.
