Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour the enchilada sauce over the chicken. Stir in the thawed corn and half of the cilantro.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and cotija cheese, if using.
  10. Serve hot with sour cream and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
  • If you don’t have a skillet that can go from stovetop to oven, transfer the chicken and corn mixture to a baking dish before adding the cheese.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like diced bell peppers or onions when cooking the chicken.
