One pan Mexican street corn chicken bake with tender seasoned chicken breast topped with fresh corn, black beans, cotija cheese, cilantro and diced avocado!
I’m back with the one pan meals! All of my one pan dinners get so many views, so I think that says something! I totally get it, I love the easy clean up. Simple and easy meals are best, but let’s not ever forget the flavor!
I’ve been so antsy to get into Fall recipes again… I know I’m being impatient but I just can’t wait. I’m trying to make the best out of the last month of Summer we have and utilize all the fresh produce. This dish is perfect for Summer, I used corn on the cob (you can use kernels from a can!) and it was so fresh and flavorful!
If you’re a huge fan of Mexican street corn (like me) you will love this dish! My husband and I devoured it.
