Easy Southwestern Chicken Recipes
SOUTHWEST CHICKEN
I discovered this recipe one Sunday afternoon in the WW magazine when I was looking to find a different way to prepare chicken. This recipe is very easy and very tasty. I served it with rice and green beans. The chicken can be cooked immediately after using the rub, but for a more intense flavor, marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge or overnight.This chicken has a sweet and spicy flavor and can be served with a squeeze of fresh lime.

- Just about everyone I know eats a fair amount of chicken. And those boneless, skinless chicken breasts are just so easy to pull out of the freezer and cook for a simple, quick, dinner. Unfortunatly, those boneless, skinless chicken breasts can get pretty boring. I sure you're going to be shocked to hear me say...."But, a simple quick dinner, made with a boneless skiness chicken breast...need not be boring." Yes that's become cliche, but it's true. One of the nice things about chicken is that it is a great platform for all kinds of herbs and spices, and one of my favorites, is to do a Southwest Spiced Chicken. And while it’s great on its own, I’m serving it will a simple corn, avocado, and tomato salsa that is fresh and delicious. Hope you enjoy, and let me know how it goes!! RECIPE FOR SOUTHWESTERN SPICED CHICKEN Recipe Overview & Keys to Success For this Southwestern Spiced chicken there are really only two things you need to be careful of.
- First, make sure you use enough seasoning. You can vary the mix of spices (although I think cumin is a pretty important one), and if you don’t one or two specific spices, don’t worry about it, use anything else...and the rub will still be good. The most common mistake I see is people not using enough…about half is going to stay in the pan, so be generous with it – and don’t forget the salt and pepper – no spice makes up for proper seasoning. Second, don’t overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough…and just not good. Your best strategy is going to be use a very hot plan, and sear the chicken quickly. The average chicken breast "1 – 2 inches" thick will only take about 8 minutes to cook if you use high heat like I do in the video…once you pull it off the heat let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it.
- 2 Chicken breast; lightly pounded out Tablespoon ground cumin 1 – 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon chili powder Olive oil

- Combine the corn, black beans, green chiles, red bell pepper, and chopped cilantro and mix well.
- In a large casserole dish, lay the chicken breast flat in the baking dish. Sprinkle with seasonings, then spread the corn mixture evenly over it. Add cheese to top it off.
- Bake uncovered at 375˚F for 40-50 minutes or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 160˚F. If the cheese starts to get too brown for your liking, loosely cover with foil for the remainder of the cook time.
