For their chicken, I used the seasoning with a very light hand, they're not as into spicy food as I am. I knew that they wouldn't try the black bean mixture, but it was easy to prepare the remainder of the frozen corn for them to have as a side. I used low sodium black beans, and 'hot' salsa. I served it with a microwaveable 90 second brown rice/quinoa mix that I absolutely love.
The chicken on its own was fantastic, and I'm now searching out more recipes to use black beans. We loved the seasoning so much that I mixed up an extra batch and have it stored in my spice rack. I love that the dish is done on the stovetop, and comes together so quickly. I think it will be awesome grilled too. Thank you so much to Molly N. for sharing her recipe!

ReplyDeleteAnd it can be repurposed so many ways- as nachos or pizza, on top of baked potatoes. It's one of my favorite dishes this year. Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI'm going to have to make this when the weather gets nicer...I think I'd like to try grilling it!
ReplyDeleteI thought we were heading for grilling weather, then it snowed yesterday. I'm impatiently waiting!
DeleteThis looks scrumptious and so full of flavor! <3 I love the nacho idea too
ReplyDeleteIt was so good on blue corn tortilla chips! I've been keeping the black bean mixture on hand for snacking :)
DeleteThis is the sort of dinner my husband loves!
ReplyDeleteMy guys are a little bit picky, so it was awesome to be able to tailor it so everyone was happy.
DeleteYum! I see this as a future weeknight supper!
ReplyDeleteI love how fast it comes together!
DeleteMy kids are surprisingly big fans of black beans, and chicken too. I would have to cut the spice for them but love the flavors.
ReplyDeleteMy kid is anti-bean (except for jelly beans- LOL). I'm hoping he'll come around someday.
DeleteDelicious! My family would love this!
