Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Bake
Ingredients
- 2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 red onion finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1/2 red pepper finely diced
- 1 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup corn frozen
- 16 ounces salsa or enchilada sauce, (optional 1 batch SkinnyMs. Enchilada Sauce)
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 2/3 cup white whole-wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese reduced-fat
- 1/4 cup cilantro or chopped scallions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a cast-iron skillet, cook chicken breast until fully cooked. Shred chicken and return to skillet. Cook with 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion, garlic and red pepper until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add black beans, corn, and salsa or enchilada sauce to the skillet. Turn off the stove and remove skillet.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, cornmeal, white wheat flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, salt, and egg. The mixture should resemble a crumb-like streusel. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of your skillet. Top with cheddar cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or just until the cheese is bubbly and barely golden. Garnish with cilantro or scallions. Enjoy!
