Ingredients
4 medium potatoes
16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup salsa
1 can (15.2 ounces) low-sodium whole kernel corn, drained
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into ¾-inch cubes. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potato cubes, and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until they are just fork-tender but still hold their shape. Drain well and set aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into ¾-inch cubes. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken cubes to the hot skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Add the cooked potato cubes to the skillet and stir gently. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the potatoes begin to brown slightly at the edges.
Pour in the salsa and drained corn. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through. Serve hot.
Comments
This is a genuinely easy weeknight dish that hits the one-pan promise and costs very little—chicken breast, potatoes, corn, and salsa are all staples at every Charlotte chain, with no special stops required. The stated 40 minutes is honest if you start with pre-cubed potatoes or cube them while the pan heats; raw chicken and raw potatoes do take that long to cook through together. The real strength is leftovers: this reheats well in a microwave or skillet, making it solid for a lunch box the next day. The only mild drawback is that salsa-based sauces can feel repetitive if you cook weeknight chicken often, and the flavor profile is fairly straightforward rather than memorable.
