Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

For the Skillet

  • 1 lb chicken breast diced
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup corn frozen or fresh

Instructions

How to Make Healthy Chicken Enchilada Skillet

  • Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, cooking until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 cup of chopped onion and 1 cup of bell peppers. Cook until softened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Toss in 1 cup of frozen or fresh corn and 1 cup of drained black beans along with 1 teaspoon of cumin and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Stir well for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the 10-ounce can of enchilada sauce into the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top of the skillet mixture. Cover and let sit on low heat for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Remove from heat, serve warm, and enjoy!
