Blackened Chicken with Beans

Blackened Chicken with Beans

1 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp garlic sea salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup black bean and corn salsa (we like Neumann's)
1/4 cup tomatillo salsa (we like Frontera)
1/4 cup frozen corn , thawed

1. Sprinkle both sides of chicken breasts with chili powder, garlic sea salt and pepper.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat oil to medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 4 minutes each side, or until no longer pink in the center.
3. Remove chicken and wrap in aluminum foil to keep warm.
4. Add the beans, salsas and corn to the skillet. Warm over medium heat for 3 minutes or until heated through.
5. Place half of bean mixture in each of two shallow bowls. Place chicken breast on top of each.

Notes: If you don't like spicy food, this isn't the meal for you. This is a quick meal to prepare, and is very tasty.

Recipe Origination: I got the idea from a recipe from "Better Homes and Gardens," but tweaked it a bit to match our taste buds.
