Southwestern Chicken Skillet

If I had to pick one type of cuisine that I favored, I would be in deep, deep trouble. I obviously love Italian, but it has to be really good Italian. I also love Chinese, Japanese and Greek. I recently discovered some Thai food that I love, too, so that would also be up there. But Mexican definitely has to be on the very top of my list. I love rice, beans, corn and traditional Mexican flavors, such as chili powder, cumin and paprika. This dish contains all of them, so I obviously loved it. Plus I topped it off with cheese. You're welcome.
