Chicken Black Bean Bake

I've made this twice in the last few weeks...amazing flavor, lots of protein, low calorie. Make it on a Sunday and package it up into tupperware containers for lunches!
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large pieces
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 c frozen corn
1/2 c diced onion
1 jar of salsa (not the really big jars), any flavor
1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
1 can green chillis
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 375. Mix black beans, corn, onion, green chillis and half of the salsa. Spray a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with cooking spray and add black bean mixture to the bottom, spread evenly. Toss chicken in taco seasoning (I use a large zip lock baggie). Put chicken in glass baking dish on top of black bean mixture. Pour the rest of your salsa onto the chicken. Top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake about 40 minutes or until done (I check it at 35 minutes and see how much longer it needs).
Nutrition Info per Serving, 6 servings (per MFP)
335 calories; 17 carbs; 11 fat; 42 protein.
Top with a tablespoon or two of light sour cream for another 20-40 calories...our favorite way to have it.
