Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Rinse and drain the black beans, then set them aside.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the salsa evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring all pieces are covered.
Sprinkle the black beans and corn kernels evenly over and around the chicken.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken alongside the black bean and corn mixture. Enjoy!
