Salsa Chicken
An Easy Chicken Recipe
 Full of zesty flavor, this Salsa Chicken dish is easy to make. It cooks up in one skillet with just a few ingredients. Our family really loves this recipe, even our finicky children clean their plates when we serve it.
When you buy salsa for this recipe, keep in mind that people have different heat tolerances. For this reason, I use a mild salsa in this dish and put a bottle of hot sauce on the table for those who want more heat. We prefer to use a chunky or garden salsa. We put the chicken on top of the corn and beans for the photo you see top right. Just so you know there is actually chicken in there.
I don't have measurements for how much garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to sprinkle on the chicken. I just use my judgement on quantities. If you really like garlic then you can always go heavy on the garlic powder.
Salsa Chicken Recipe
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each halved
salt
pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
ground cumin
2 tbs oil
1 jar of salsa
1 can of whole kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Preparation:
Heat the oil in the skillet at medium heat.
Season each piece of chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and ground cumin. (I don't use measurements, just sprinkle some on)
Brown the chicken on both sides until no pink remains.
Once the chicken is browned on both sides, spoon your favorite salsa on top of each piece.
Add the corn and black beans over the chicken
If you'd like you can sprinkle some salt and pepper over the corn and beans at this point for a little more flavor.
Add the cheese over the top and cover until it all melts and the corn and beans warm up, this takes maybe about 5-10 mins.
Serve
