FINISH WITH
2
Season chicken with 1 teaspoon of the spice mix and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Set the remaining spice mix aside for later use.
3
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Working in batches so the pan doesn’t get crowded, cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, flipping once, for 4-5 minutes. Remove cooked chicken to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and the diced red onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens, about 3-4 minutes.
6
Add the minced garlic and remaining spice mix to the skillet. Cook, stirring a few times, for 1 minute.
7
Add corn and diced zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 4 minutes.
8
Stir in the cooked chicken and its accumulated juices, along with the black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes for the flavors to blend.
9
Serve the dish garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro.
