Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium pot, season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Add enough water to cover the chicken, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a large mixing bowl or use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Shred the chicken into fine pieces using two forks or the mixer.
- In a separate bowl, combine the full-fat plain Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until smooth.
- Fold the shredded chicken into the yogurt mixture, then add the black beans, finely diced red bell pepper, fire-roasted corn, finely chopped red onion, and optional cilantro. Mix until evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve on whole wheat toast, in tortillas, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
