For flavor as big as Texas, this recipe partners juicy chicken with black beans, corn and salsa. It tastes savory under a sprinkling of melted Mexican cheese. Dinner's a snap to make and clean up. —Tonya Vowels, Vine Grove, Kentucky

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 cup salsa
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Place each chicken breast half on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with salsa, corn, beans and cheese. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.
  2. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Serve with sour cream.
