Southwestern Chicken Skillet
Author: Diane Roark @ www.recipesforourdailybread.com/
This Southwestern Chicken Skillet is not only delicious but so quick and easy to make. I serve it by itself, in a tortilla or over nachos.
I cannot believe I am admitting this, but I have made this skillet meal many times using frozen chicken. I start by cooking the rice. Next, I use my kitchen shears to cut frozen chicken breast up into small bite size pieces. After heating a couple tablespoons of oil in a skillet, I toss in the frozen chicken breast pieces add the seasoning and saute them. It only takes a few minutes depending on how small you cut your chicken up. When the chicken is done, I add my cooked rice, a can drained black beans, a can drained corn, and one and a half cups of shredded cheese. Stir it mixture together and serve it. It is truly quick, easy, and delicious.
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
3 chicken breast, cut into small pieces
One - 15 ounce can black beans, drained
One - 15 ounce can corn, drained
Cooked rice (I cooked 1 cup of rice and used all of it.)
1-1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese OR Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons Fajita seasoning
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Instructions
Cook one cup uncooked rice according to package.
Cut up the chicken breast into small bite size pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil and add the chicken pieces.
Sprinkle the chicken with seasoning.
Cook chicken until done about 5 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.
Add the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and cheese.
Stir everything together and serve.
