Step-by-Step Instructions for Santa Fe Chicken Skillet
- Prepare chicken by cutting boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and marinate for 10–15 minutes.
- Sauté vegetables by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a splash of olive oil. Once shimmering, add diced yellow onion and chopped bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Mix in black beans and corn and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
- Cook chicken by pushing the sautéed vegetables to the side and adding marinated chicken. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Combine ingredients by adding sautéed vegetables back into the skillet. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–5 minutes. If desired, stir in heavy cream for creaminess.
- Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. Enjoy with warm tortillas or over rice.
