Spicy Chopped Chicken


I often avoid cooking chicken because it just takes too long to cook a full breast of chicken.  To deal with this, I will just chop the chicken into bite sized pieces before cooking.  This cuts down on the cooking time, and makes it a great meal to eat on the go.  This recipe uses our Pastamore Fresh Jalapeno Oil to add a little heat to spice up the flavor.

Ingredients:  serves 4-6
1 Tbsp - Pastamore Fresh Jalapeno Oil
1 lb - chicken breast
8 oz - cherry tomatoes
1 can - drained, black beans
1/4 bag - frozen corn kernels
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - black pepper
1/8 tsp - red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp - cumin
1/8 tsp - oregano
1 Tbsp - vegetable oil

Directions:
1.  Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces (smaller than 1" x 1").

2.  Heat a large pot on the stove over medium/medium-high heat.  Add the vegetable oil.  Once the oil is hot, add the chicken,  Cook for 4-5 minutes and add all of the spices.

3.  After 3 more minutes, add the cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn.  Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.

4.  Remove from the heat and add the Pastamore Fresh Jalapeno Oil to the pot.  Mix well and season to taste with salt.  Serve over sweet potatoes or rice.
