Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth, corn, black beans, chili powder, and cumin. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Combine Chicken and Simmer

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with rice or tortillas.
