Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups fat-free sour cream
2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese, divided
1 (8 ounce) can chopped green chilies
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken in a medium saucepan. Fill with enough water to just cover chicken. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain and let cool 10 minutes.
  • Cut cooled chicken into 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a large bowl. Add beans, sour cream, 1 cup Mexican cheese, chilies, cumin, and black pepper and mix well. Pour into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cup of Mexican cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa on the side.
