1. 01

   Prepare Chicken and Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F. If your chicken breasts are thick, you might want to lightly pound them to an even thickness for quicker, more consistent cooking. Season each chicken breast evenly on both sides with the southwest chipotle seasoning.
2. 02

   Sear Chicken, Heat Beans

   Place a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Once hot, lightly mist the pan with olive oil spray and add the seasoned chicken. Cook, turning once, for 2 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside.

   While the chicken sears, warm the black beans in a separate small saucepan over medium heat on the stovetop.

3. 03

   Top Chicken

   Take the skillet off the heat. Top each chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the enchilada sauce, then sprinkle with one-fourth of the Monterey Jack cheese and one-fourth of the cilantro.
4. 04

   Bake Chicken

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

   Serve

   Serve the baked chicken breasts immediately over the warm black beans.
