Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season them with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Ensure both sides are well-seasoned.
-
In a separate bowl, mix together the black beans and salsa. Spoon the black bean mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring an even distribution.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
-
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken and beans, and return the dish to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once the cheese is melted and the chicken is fully cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C), remove the dish from the oven.
-
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
