Ingredients
1 lb. Smart Chicken Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, boiled and shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
½ cup whole kernel corn, drain off any liquid from can, option to use fresh
½ cup black beans, rinse and drain
¼ cup jalapeno, remove veins and seeds, chop small
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1 cup red enchilada sauce
4 ounces diced green chilis, one small can
2 cups shredded cheese, Mexican blend, divided in half
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Gently spray a 9-inch cast iron pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside. Boil a pot of water and cook your chicken breasts until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This can take anywhere between 15-20 minutes. Once cooked through, strain off the water and shred the chicken using two forks. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cream cheese, and warm shredded chicken. Mix until well combined. The warmth from the chicken will help soften the cream cheese. Next, add the corn kernels, black beans, diced jalapeno, taco seasoning, green chilis, enchilada sauce and ½ of the shredded cheese mixture. Mix until well combined. Add the mixture to the prepared cast iron baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or vegetables. Best enjoyed warm.
