Baked Black Bean and Salsa Chicken

See that corn up there?!? The “summer price” of $.25/ear is here a bit early this year! I couldn’t help myself and snagged a few for this week. The boys L-O-V-E corn and I love watching them munch it off the corn. It’s sorta cute!

This *might* just become my new “go-to” meal. It’s way low maintenance…as long as you get it into the oven in time!  It was delicious according to all 4 “table food eating” members of the family! Totally passed the “kid test!”
