MEXICAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI, CORN, AND BLACK BEANS
This easy Mexican chicken recipe incorporates a mix of fresh vegetables and bold flavors for a hearty one-dish dinner. We used black beans in this entrée, but you can substitute pinto beans, if you like. We've added just a pinch of cayenne pepper to the spice mix, but you can up that if you can handle the heat. Or, add in a finely diced habanero or serrano pepper to really take this to the next level. If you can find it, use queso fresco in place of the crumbled feta for a more authentic flavor. Use any leftovers as a tasty filling for tacos or burritos.

Steps:
- To make spice mix, combine cumin, oregano, chili powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Season chicken with 1 tsp spice mixture and ½ tsp salt; set remaining spice mixture aside.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches so pan doesn't get crowded, cook chicken until browned and cooked through, flipping once, 4-5 minutes; remove to a plate.
- Add remaining 2 tsp oil and onion to pan; cook, stirring, until onion softens, 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and remaining spice mix; cook, stirring a few times, 1 minute. Add corn and zucchini to pan; cook, stirring often, until tender, 4 minutes. Stir in chicken and accumulated juices, beans, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, and remaining 1 tsp salt; cover and simmer for 5 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve garnished with cheese and cilantro.

Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a lasagna pan with cooking spray. Place chicken in a medium saucepan and fill with enough cold water just to cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes; drain. When chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into 1-inch pieces. Transfer chicken to a large bowl and add beans, sour cream, 1 cup shredded cheese, chilies, cumin and pepper; mix well and set aside. Arrange 10 tortilla halves in bottom of prepared pan, overlapping pieces to cover surface. Top tortillas with 1/3 of chicken mixture and then layer with 8 tortillas halves. Spoon 1/3 more chicken mixture over top and then top with remaining 10 tortilla halves. Spoon remaining chicken mixture over top and sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese. Bake until filling is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 12 pieces. Serve with salsa on the side.
