How to Make Chicken Salsa Skillet Dump

  1. Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp paprika (or your favorite seasonings).
  3. Cook chicken breasts in the skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 (15-ounce) can of corn (drained), 1 cup of your favorite salsa, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro to the skillet.
  6. Stir to combine well. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the sauce.
  9. Heat for another 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chicken breasts over the corn and bean mixture. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired. Serve with rice or pasta for a heartier meal.
  11. Enjoy!
