For flavor as big as Texas, this recipe partners juicy chicken with black beans, corn and salsa. It tastes savory under a sprinkling of melted Mexican cheese. Dinner's a snap to make and clean up. —Tonya Vowels, Vine Grove, Kentucky

Directions

1
Place each chicken breast half on a greased double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with salsa, corn, beans and cheese. Fold foil around mixture and seal tightly.

2
Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Serve with sour cream.
