Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can (10 oz) diced green chiles

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

    Add the Veggies: Stir in the diced green chiles, black beans, and corn. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to warm everything through.

      Mix in the Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cheese to melt (about 3-5 minutes).

          Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on top.
