Chicken Picante

This is a delicious and easy dish with sweet corn and tomatoes and a kick of chili powder to keep things interesting!


Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/2 in. wide strips (optional)
3 14.5 oz. cans Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
3 cups corn (frozen or fresh, if using canned drain first)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat (I used my electric skillet).

2. Add chicken to the skillet and saute until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.

3. Add tomatoes, corn, chili powder and bring to a boil.

4. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon, about 8 minutes.

5. Mix in cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper.
