With just 15-minutes of prep, you'll be out of the kitchen in no time. This deliciously low-fat dish gets even better served with reduced-fat sour cream and chopped cilantro. Brandi Castillo - Santa Maria, California

Easy to make as I had all of the ingredients in the pantry. Decent dish, I'll definitely make it again if I'm short on time. Thanks for the recipe!

I only used one can of black beans, doubled the corn, and added cilantro and lime juice.

I love to use my slow-cooker whenever possible, and I make this recipe often. It's delicious and full of flavor.

This was so simple to make and it really tastes great. I sprinkled some grated Colby Jack 2% Cheese on top - Delicious!

My familyloves this dish. I've also tried it with thigh meat, which add flavor. I alway beef up the meat and add a little more corn. Also great topped with sharp cheddar and tortilla chips on the side.

Delicious!! Followed the recipe, and it came out great. My husband is a super picky eater, and he loved it :) A definite keeper at our house!

We loved this recipe! I only used 1 can of beans and used a whole can of corn. I thought it had great flavor and was very easy to put together.

Our family loved this just the way it is. I thought the salt level was good for being a low-salt recipe. Even my son who doesn't like beans thought it was good.

We like to substitute a can of drained ranch beans for one of the cans of black beans and add more chicken. Leftovers make a yummy filling inside flour tortillas.

This is a great recipe. I always add one more chicken breast.

This was nothing all that great by itself but I took the leftovers and without warming them up put them in a salad with sour cream and salsa for the dressing and it was very good.

This was lacking in flavor the first time I made it, so this time around I added a bit more cumin and some chili powder. Also a little sea salt. Cheese sprinkled on the final product made it a bit more flavorful too. We were out of black beans so I used pinto and it was still yummy. Definitely easy and affordable. Very filling as well.

This recipe is awesome.. I actually decided to make it more soupy. The first time i made it i did it like the recipe said and loved it but this last time i added more broth and cumin and added salt to the recipe.. it has the best flavor and we have actually decided to add it to our health food stores menu as a soup.. so yummy!

This is delicious! I don't care for black beads so I used red beans. I bet this would be great rolled up in corn tortillas.

My husband and I love this dish. Sour cream makes it a lot better.

Made this for my son-in-law who loves Southwest and chicken foods. He said it was excellent. I used brown rice which gave it even more flavor.

A good solid winter recipe. I grated monteray jack cheese on top after dishing onto each plate... and let it melt...yum.

This is really good and it makes way more than six servings. You could feed a small army with this one!

This is one of the few Taste of Home or Healthy Cooking recipes that didn't impress me. As my husband put it, "it's nothing special."

This is very delicious. I make it all the time on chilly days.
