A vibrant and flavorful one-skillet meal featuring tender chicken, hearty black beans, and a zesty salsa topping.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips.
Cutting the chicken into uniform strips ensures even cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Wait until the oil is shimmering before adding the chicken.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve a nice sear on the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the chicken with foil to keep it warm while preparing the rest of the dish.
Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the black beans, salsa, and corn, and cook until heated through.
Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve the chicken over a bed of brown rice, topped with the black bean mixture.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
