Fiesta Chicken with Black Bean Salsa Recipe

Fiesta Chicken with Black Bean Salsa Recipe

  • Ingredients for Marinade:
  • 1/3 cup CRISCO® Canola Oil
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • Salsa:
  • 1 cup purchased salsa
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned or frozen corn
  • Optional Garnish:
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded Cheddar cheese
  • Diced avocado
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. Transfer to a self-sealing plastic bag. Add chicken breasts; marinate 30 minutes in refrigerator.
  2. While chicken is marinating, combine salsa, black beans and corn in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat, until corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill or broil chicken breasts, turning once, about 7 minutes per side or until no longer pink in center.
  4. Place each chicken breast on a plate; top with salsa mixture and garnish with sour cream, cheese, and avocado. Serve immediately.
