This recipe is another dish that has plenty of room for 'do as you wish'. When I'm creating off the cuff, I attempt to figure out measurements as I go for the purpose of sharing. I also find that most everything I make can be altered one way or another based on current preference or what is currently available in the kitchen. For a spicier, bolder version of this dish, you can add jalapeño peppers (or any of your favorite peppers), onions, olives, and your preference of cheese-blends. Like many of the dishes I make, the variations are endless. So, create as you desire, have fun, and enjoy!
For this delicious Mexican Black Bean Chicken, you will need:
6 - 8 boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
1 pack taco seasoning
6 - 8 slices of cream cheese (one to top each piece of chicken)
15.25 oz can black beans
14.5 oz can fire roasted tomatoes (or tomatoes w/ green chilies)
1 tbs cumin
1 tbs chili powder
1.5 tsp garlic
1 cup of grated cheese
1 tsp cilantro (extra for garnish)
What to do:
Preheat oven to 375°
Place chicken tenderloins evenly spaced in a pre-greased casserole dish (a light coating of olive or avocado oil works well).
Top the chicken with taco seasoning.
Place one slice of cream cheese on each piece of chicken.
Pour black beans and tomatoes over chicken.
Sprinkle seasoning (mix of cumin, chili powder, garlic, and cilantro)
Top all with grated cheese (optional)
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for 10 additional minutes or until cheese is lightly golden brown.
Mexican Black Bean Chicken is a meal in itself, still, chips with guacamole pairs well as an appetizer or side.
Tip - This recipe can be made in the crockpot. Combine all ingredients and set on slow-cook for 5 hours.
