The Sunday before I get paid makes cooking dinner difficult. I go grocery shopping the week I get paid and once we get to the Sunday before my payday we are on minimal options for food. We had plenty of meat, but I had no idea what to make. Asking Anthony is no help because he is completely indecisive. He is typically okay with anything minus a few things here and there. I decided to make chicken but didn’t know how to prepare it, so I went to Google and found nothing. Then I took it to Pinterest and found a pin for Baked Southwest Chicken. Unfortunately, the pin didn’t show a recipe. So, I just eyeballed the picture and took a guess of what the ingredients were. From looking at the picture I had all the ingredients necessary for the recipe. After I got everything out that I needed I looked up Baked Southwest Chicken on Google and found the recipe. I had all the ingredients right except a few.
So, here is what you will need: 1lb of chicken breast ½ tsp ground cumin ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder Salt and pepper to taste 1 can of black beans; rinsed 1 can of corn; drained ½ a tomato As much green chile as your heart desires. (I think I used a cup) As much Colby Jack cheese as you like 9x9 baking dish Baking spray or butter to grease dish Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x9 baking dish to prevent the chicken from sticking. Season chicken with cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper then place in the dish. In a mixing bowl combine: black beans, corn, chile, tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, cover the chicken with the vegetables. Add cheese to top. Bake for 45-50 minutes. I checked my chicken at 30 minutes because my oven has a mind of its own and changes drastically in temperature. If your oven is like mine, bake chicken until it reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit inside. *Optional: Bake chicken with foil loosely over the dish to prevent cheese from browning. I have decided to designate my recipe posts for Fridays. It’s a new segment I call, Foodie Friday. If there is a recipe you want me to try let me know in the comments. If you make this recipe, let me know how it comes out! Happy cooking, friends!
