Fresh One Pan Cheesy JalapeÑo Chicken
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lime sliced
- 3 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil divided
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half and pounded
to be 1/2 inch thick - 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried minced onion
- 1/4 tsp ancho chile powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed (fresh corn works
as well) - 2 jalapeños seeds removed and sliced lengthwise into strips
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp lime juice (juice of 2-3 limes)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or any cheese
you prefer) - minced fresh cilantro, for garnish
- extra lime wedges, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
- To a mixing bowl, add chicken, chili powder, oregano, kosher
salt, ground cumin, black pepper, dried minced onion, and ancho chile powder.
Toss and massage spice mixture into all sides of chicken. - Add flour to a shallow bowl or plate and lightly dredge
chicken in flour. Let chicken sit while you heat up your pan. - Heat large oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Add lime
slices to pan and char for 1-2 minutes per side, until charred and brown, as
desired. Remove to a plate. - Add 2 ½ Tbsp of the vegetable oil to the hot pan and let
heat through until shimmering. - Add chicken pieces to the hot pan, being careful not to
overcrowd the pan (you may need to do 2 batches, depending on the size of your
pan). Cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, then remove to plate. - Move oven rack to the upper third part of the oven and
preheat broiler to HIGH. - Add remaining 1 Tbsp vegetable oil and then add corn
kernels, jalapeno slices and garlic. Cook, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes,
until corn begins to lightly brown. - Add chicken back to the pan, and pour in lime juice and
water. Cook several minutes (this time can vary depending on your stove – mine
took 2 minutes), until liquid is mostly absorbed. - Sprinkle with shredded cheese and broil for about 2-3
minutes, until cheese is melted. - Garnish with minced fresh cilantro and serve with lime
wedges or charred lime slices.
