Dish 30 - Southwest Chicken Skillet

Southwest Chicken Skillet
Prep Time: 30min; Total Time: 30min; Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/4 pounds chicken breast fillets, cut into 1in pieces
500gm mixed frozen vegetables
1 can red kidney beans
1 cup salsa
2 flour tortillas, cut into 2x1in strips
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method:
  1. In 10in fry pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in centre.
  2. Stir in vegetables, beans and salsa; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crsip-tender.
  3. Sprinkle with tortilla strips and cheese. Cover and cook about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Note: Next time I make this, I would put the fry pan under a grill after step 3, to help the cheese melt and make a more appealing golden colour, which would also crisp up some of the tortilla strips.
