Southwestern Chicken

This is seriously one of the easiest recipes that even I can do it well...

Ingredients:
1 can of corn (sweet corn regular size 12 oz? 14 oz?)
1 can of black beans (14 oz?)
1 jar of salsa (what ever kind you want. I usually use Chi Chi's because it's thick and not runny)
1 packet of fajita seasoning
4-6 chicken breasts (depending on size) 
Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Mexican Blend


Instructions:
*  Drain corn - place in mixing bowl
* Drain Black Beans and rinse - place in mixing bowl with corn
*  Pour salsa into the mixing bowl with the corn and black beans. Stir and set aside.
*  Sprinkle fajita seasoning over chicken - want to make sure chicken is covered yet you will NOT need the entire packet (in my opinion).
* Cook your chicken. I'm always so lazy that my chicken is frozen so I cook chicken for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. 
* Spread (or spoon) the salsa, corn, bean mix over the chicken and cook for another 15 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil (have no clue why, my mother in law suggested it once).
*  After the 15 minutes spread the shredded cheese over the dish. I don't measure I just cover the top with the cheese. Leave in for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.


Serve with rice!


If you have left over salsa, corn, bean mix then use it for nachos the next day!!! 


This Mama Can't Cook but she can mix and throw in the oven!!
