Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together the spices for the homemade sazon seasoning. Set aside.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large deep skillet or pot and place over medium high heat. Add in diced chicken then sprinkle with HALF of the sazon spices, stirring well to coat the chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink. Once chicken is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and set aside. Keep heat in the pan.

Step 3

Add another ½ tablespoon of oil to the pan and add in the garlic, yellow onion and bell pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes until onion is tender, then add in the zucchini, corn black beans and remaining half of the sazon spice mixture. Stir to coat, then cook for 5-10 more minutes until the zucchini gets a little fork tender, but do not overcook or it will become mushy. Next, add the chicken back in and cook for a few more minutes to bring flavors all together. Reduce heat to low and add 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top, then cover and allow cheese to melt; this should only take 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Serve on its own or over rice. We love to garnish with green onion and cilantro. You can also serve with greek yogurt or sour cream if you’d like. Yum!
