Serve it hot with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. This recipe is a reliable crowd-pleaser that delivers bold taste without complex techniques.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat dry 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves and sprinkle both sides with 1 teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side until browned.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 can rinsed black beans, 1 can drained whole kernel corn, 2/3 cup Pace Picante Sauce, 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
  5. Turn the chicken breasts over and spoon the bean mixture evenly over the top of the chicken.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and cook uncovered for 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  7. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a serving platter and keep warm.
  8. Increase heat to high and cook the bean mixture in the skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
  9. Spoon the hot bean sauce over the chicken.
  10. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
