Southwest Chicken Skillet
Ingredients
  • 1
    1 - 1 1/2 ounce envelope fajita seasoning mix
  • 1/2
    cup water
  • 2
    tablespoons cooking oil
  • 12
    ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Nonstick spray coating
  • 1
    medium yellow or green sweet pepper, cut into squares
  • 1
    small zucchini, bias-sliced
  • 1/2
    small onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 2/3
    cup salsa
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2
    cup frozen whole kernel corn
  • 1/2
    cup cooked or canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8
    8 inches flour tortillas (optional)
  • 1/2
    cup shredded reduced-fat Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Directions

1. For marinade, in a medium mixing bowl combine fajita mix, water, and oil. Add chicken to marinade. Stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. Spray a large skillet with nonstick coating. Preheat over medium heat. Add sweet pepper, zucchini, and onion; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from skillet.

3. Drain chicken; discard marinade. Add chicken to skillet. (If necessary, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil during cooking.) Cook and stir for 4 to 5 minutes or until no pink remains. Return vegetables to skillet. Stir together salsa and chili powder. Add salsa mixture, corn, and beans to skillet. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through. Serve with warm tortillas and cheese, if desired. (To heat tortillas, wrap in microwave-safe paper towels; micro-cook on high power for 30 seconds). Makes 4 servings.
