Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), placing the rack in the middle position.
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into thinner cutlets and season with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Stir in the drained Ro-tel diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, corn, and smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet, placing it on top of the vegetable mixture, and sprinkle the Mexican cheese blend on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F and the cheese is golden.
- Optionally sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the top before serving.
