– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/4 teaspoon cumin
– 2 cups milk
– 4 large eggs
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering, about 1 minute.
3. Add 1 pound diced chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and lightly browned.
4. Stir in 1 cup diced onion and 1 cup diced bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.
5. Tip: For extra flavor, let the vegetables caramelize slightly by not stirring too often.
6. Add 1 cup corn kernels, 1 can black beans, and 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, mixing well and cooking for 2 minutes to combine.
7. Transfer the chicken mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
8. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top in an even layer.
9. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin until well combined.

16. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
