Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and coat the both sides with the spice mixture.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken and sear for 3-5 minutes, flip and cook another 3-4 minutes it doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through yet. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and add in the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until desired softness. Add in the minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
  • Add in the black beans, green chiles, tomatoes, and corn and cook 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  • Place the chicken breasts on top of the mixture.
  • Dived the shredded cheese evenly on top of each chicken breast. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid or aluminium foil and cook another 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken reaches 165 degrees.
  • Squeeze fresh lime juice on top and garnish with chopped cilantro and serve!

Notes

  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used in place of chicken breasts.
