π½π Mexican Street Corn Chicken π§π₯
Juicy
baked chicken topped with creamy, cheesy street corn goodness — bold, zesty, and packed with flavor!
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and season with chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Place in the baking dish.
3. Bake for 20 minutes.
4. While chicken bakes, in a bowl combine corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, lime juice, and half of the cotija cheese. Mix well.
5. Remove chicken from oven and spoon the street corn mixture evenly over each piece. Sprinkle Monterey Jack and remaining cotija on top.
6. Return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Pro Tip:
For extra street-style flavor, broil for the last 2–3 minutes to get a slightly charred, golden top — and serve with an extra squeeze of fresh lime!
