Ingredients

Scale

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
2 tbsp taco seasoning
2 cups salsa
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (about 6 minutes per side). Shred the cooked chicken with two forks.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with black beans, corn, taco seasoning, and salsa until well combined.
Layer half of the mixture in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining mixture and top with the rest of the cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
