Santa Fe Skillet Chicken Directions:

  • In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  • Rub the spice blend evenly over both sides of each chicken breast half.

  • Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and sear the chicken for 4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add diced onion and sauté for 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  • Add black beans, green chiles, diced tomatoes, and corn. Stir and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat until heated through.

  • Nestle the chicken breasts back into the skillet, slightly pressing them into the mixture.

  • Generously top each chicken breast with shredded Colby Jack cheese.

  • Cover with a lid or foil and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for 6 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temp).

  • Remove from heat, drizzle with lime juice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
