Step 1

Coat a 2-qt round casserole with nonstick spray; set aside. Coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook about 5 minutes or until corn begins to lightly brown. Add potatoes; cook and stir 5-8 minutes longer or until potatoes begin to brown. Stir in tomatoes, chipotle peppers, 1/2 tsp. chili powder, 1/2 tsp. cumin, and the oregano. Remove from heat; transfer mixture to the prepared casserole.
Wipe skillet clean. Add oil to skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. chili powder, and 1/4 tsp. cumin. Brown chicken in hot oil, turning once to brown both sides (about 3 minutes on each side). Place chicken on top of potato mixture in casserole.

Bake, uncovered, in a 375° oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly and chicken is no longer pink. Sprinkle with cheese.
