Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1-1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 1 medium jalapeño seeded if desired and thinly sliced
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 2 – 3 medium limes 1 or 2 juiced to yield 3 Tbs. and 1 cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar

Instructions

  • Position a rack about 4 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Toss the chicken with the chili powder, cumin, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. black pepper. Lightly dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off any excess.
  • Melt 2-1/2 Tbs. of the butter in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 Tbs. butter, the corn, jalapeño, garlic, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring, until the corn begins to brown lightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken, lime juice, oregano, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and transfer the skillet to the broiler. Broil until the cheese melts and browns on top, about 3 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Serve with rice pilaf or wrap in warm corn tortillas.
