Ingredients
Method
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice them in half lengthwise to create four thinner chicken cutlets. prep
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ancho chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Season both sides of each chicken breast cutlet generously with the seasoning mixture. prep
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear each side for about 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a clean plate. prep
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. prep
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, drained corn, black beans, green chilies, ground cumin, lime juice, and any leftover seasoning mixture from the chicken. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through. mix
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the vegetable mixture over the top of each chicken breast. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken breasts. assemble
- Cover the skillet and continue cooking over medium-low heat until the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked (an internal temperature of 165°F). Alternatively, place the skillet in a preheated 350°F oven to finish cooking. bake
- Serve the chicken garnished with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. finish
