Chef's Note

To get a lovely charred flavor on the corn, dry-sear the corn kernels in the hot skillet for 2 minutes before adding the oil and onions!

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb leftover cooked citrus-cumin chicken thighs

  • 1 medium yellow onion

  • 2 cloves garlic cloves

  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 1 cup raw corn kernels

  • 15 oz canned black beans

  • 15 oz red enchilada sauce

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

  • 1 whole lime

  • 1 TBSP olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    Prepare the ingredients: Shred 1.5 lb of leftover cooked citrus-cumin chicken thighs from Day 1. Finely dice 1 medium yellow onion. Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Wash and dice 2 medium zucchinis into 1/2-inch pieces. Grate 1 cup of cheddar cheese from a block. Rinse and drain 15 oz of canned black beans. Finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, and cut 1 lime into wedges.

  • 2

    Heat 1 TBSP of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent.

  • 3

    Add the 2 minced garlic cloves, the diced zucchini, and 1 cup of raw corn kernels to the skillet. Season with 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is slightly tender but still bright green.

  • 4

    Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the 1.5 lb of shredded leftover chicken, the drained 15 oz of black beans, and 15 oz of red enchilada sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly warmed through and the sauce begins to bubble.

  • 5

    Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and let cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly.

  • 6

    Remove from the heat. Garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot directly from the skillet with lime wedges squeezed over the top.
