Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • Chicken Breast (4 boneless, skinless breasts)
  • Taco Seasoning (2 tablespoons)

For the Salsa:

  • Fresh Tomatoes (2 cups, diced)
  • Red Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
  • Jalapeño (1, seeds removed and finely chopped)
  • Fresh Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime Juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

For the Black Beans and Corn:

  • Black Beans (1 can, drained and rinsed)
  • Corn Kernels (1 cup, fresh or frozen)
  • Cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated with the flavorful seasoning.
  2. Bake to Perfection:
    • Bake the seasoned chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures juicy and perfectly cooked chicken.
  3. Salsa Sensation:
    • In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a vibrant and zesty salsa that will add a burst of freshness to the dish.
  4. Bean and Corn Bliss:
    • In a separate pan, combine black beans, corn kernels, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the beans and corn are heated through and well-seasoned.
  5. Assemble the Fiesta Plate:
    • Once the chicken is cooked, place each breast on a plate. Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of the salsa mixture and a side of the seasoned black beans and corn.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Garnish the Fiesta Chicken with additional cilantro and a lime wedge for a touch of freshness. Serve immediately and savor the vibrant flavors of this Weight Watchers Free Points Dinner.
