mexican chicken

This is pretty much a weekly staple in our household... mostly because it is an easy after work type meal to throw together. I don't think they eat this in Mexico but it does involve chicken so that part is legit.

Ingredients:

3 or 4 chicken breasts

1 jar of salsa -- I prefer Paul Newman's salsa. Not only was he smokin' hot but he made really good salsa. If you have more time you can make salsa from scratch. When I have more time I'll leave a good salsa recipe.

1 can of black beans

1 cup of frozen corn

1 cup of shredded cheese

Ok, preheat your oven. I think like 400 degree-ish. Mix the salsa, beans and corn together. Put the chicken in a baking dish and then put the salsa mix on top. If you're good at planning ahead you could do this step the night before and let it marinate. I never can plan that far ahead. Put the chicken in the oven and cook until the chicken looks like it's done... like 30 or 40 minutes. Just make sure the chicken is cooked through. Once it looks cooked put the cheese on top and let it cook 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve warm with spanish or brown rice. I like to put mine on the rice and add homemade guacamole. Ok, not super creative but super tasty.

If you're feeling wild you can switch up the salsas... sometimes I like to use a mango salsa or a lime salsa or whatever...
