Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced small
1.50 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and diced into small pieces
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and diced into small pieces
one 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed (I used no salt added)
one 8-ounce can corn, drained and rinsed (or about 3/4 cup frozen corn that you thaw first and discard the liquid)
1 jalapeño diced small
1 Serrano diced small
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 to 4 tablespoons lime juice
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, for garnishing, or to taste
Directions
1
To a large skillet, add the oil, red onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until onion is beginning to soften and become translucent.
2
Add the chicken, red pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through; stir and flip intermittently so the chicken cooks evenly.
3
Add the black beans, corn, chiles, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, coriander, and stir to combine. Allow mixture to simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until warmed through.
4
Add the lime juice and stir to combine. Taste and check for flavor balance. If it needs more cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, etc. add it. If you want it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
5
Evenly sprinkle the cilantro and serve immediately. Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
