Cheddar Chicken with Black Bean Salsa

Another yummy recipe from Carianne.  This is super easy to make.  She even gave me a recipe for Mexican White Rice but I was missing the cilantro and opted for a box version instead.

Cheddar Chicken with Black Bean Salsa
4 Chicken Breasts
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
3/4 c. Cheddar Cheese or Pepper Jack
1 (14 1/2 oz. can) Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes-chopped
1 (15 oz. can) Black Beans, drained and rinsed
2 Tbl. cilantro

Directions
Spray large skillet with olive oil and heat.  Saute chicken until lightly browned.  Sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper.  Turn over and saute until cooked.  Sprinkle cheese over chicken ( all but about 1 tbls.).  In a small pan bring tomatoes and black beans to a boil.  Top the chicken with the black bean salsa and ad remaining cheese and cilantro.  Yummy!

Okay, I once again did not have the cilantro and the dish still tasted yummy.  I think I just need to plan an herb garden so I can pick the herbs as I need them.

I know! She always manages to cook a nice dinner. Me, I try to pass of peanut butter on eggos and a glass of milk as dinner at times. There is lots of protein and calcium right?
