Okay, easy meal time! This came together super quick. It didn't take too much thought and I was even able to make it with kids doing homework, a baby underfoot and a set of 3 year old twins.
I didn't use the pepperjack cheese as I used the last of it on the eggs for breakfast. Whoops! It still came out delicious and it's a meal we'll make again.
Southwest Smothered Chicken
Adapted from Taste of Home
1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup salsa
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Pepper Jack cheese
Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with cumin and cayenne. In a large skillet, cook chicken in pan with a small bit of oil over medium heat until done and no longer pink.
Meanwhile, combine corn and salsa, spoon over chicken. Top with cheese and heat until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream if desired.

ReplyDeleteLooks yummy and easy
ReplyDeleteWow! You rock! I can't even make toast if my 2 year old is in the kitchen! ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, this recipe looks great! I'll be making this soon!
Looks great Debbi! You're my kind of super woman!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! I make a similar dish -- but use black beans instead of corn. I think that is probably a healthier option and it is very yummy! Give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI tend to think everything tastes better when smothered in corn. Love how easy and tasty this is!
ReplyDeleteThe combination of cumin and cayenne with the corn sounds great. with or without the Pepper Jack!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great. I love a perfectly simple dinner recipe like this. I combine salsa and corn with my chicken all the time. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good! I'll have to try it sometime soon!!
