There's a fiesta in every bite of this tasty chicken dish. Let it spice up dinner tonight! If you're worried about the heat, simply reduce the amount of jalapenos.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 cup fresh or frozen corn
1 cup salsa
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices
1/4 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle both sides with cumin and cayenne. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
2. Meanwhile, combine corn and salsa; spoon over chicken. Top with cheese and jalapenos. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Top each chicken breast with a dollop of sour cream. Yield: 4 servings.
