MEXICAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI, CORN, AND BLACK BEANS



Mexican chicken with zucchini, corn, and black beans image

This easy Mexican chicken recipe incorporates a mix of fresh vegetables and bold flavors for a hearty one-dish dinner. We used black beans in this entrée, but you can substitute pinto beans, if you like. We've added just a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mix, but you can up that if you can handle the heat. Or, add in a finely diced habanero or serrano pepper to really take this to the next level. If you can find it, use queso fresco in place of the crumbled feta for a more authentic flavor. Use any leftovers as a tasty filling for tacos or burritos.

0.5 cup(s) Crumbled feta cheese

  • Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so pan doesn't get crowded, cook chicken until browned and cooked through, flipping once, 4-5 minutes; remove to a plate.
  • Add remaining 2 tsp oil and onion to pan; cook, stirring, until onion softens, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and remaining spice mix; cook, stirring a few times, 1 minute. Add corn and zucchini to pan; cook, stirring often, until tender, 4 minutes. Stir in chicken and accumulated juices, beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, and remaining 1 tsp salt; cover and simmer for 5 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve garnished with cheese and cilantro.
