One Pan Southwestern Chicken Bake

Juicy and seasoned chicken breast baked with black beans, corn, fire roasted tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese – all the southwestern flavors you love in one pan!

So I’ve noticed a pattern with my most viewed recipes – most of them are my one pan dinners! I guess you guys love the quick clean up (I sure know I do!!)

This recipe was somewhat inspired by one of my favorite/most popular recipes on here, which is my baked bruschetta chicken. Except, I switched from Italian flavors to southwestern flavors. Both these dishes are so easy, healthy, low-carb, and delicious! What more could you ask for in a dinner!?

^This is what your pan should look like before going into the oven. Bake it for around 35-40 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breast) and then top it with some shredded pepper-jack or cheese of choice, and bake again for about 5 minutes! I topped mine with some avocado and cilantro too, so flavorful!

If you don’t like cheese or are dairy-free, feel free to leave out the pepper-jack or use a vegan shredded cheese!
