Mexican Street Corn Chicken
Description
Mexican Street Corn Chicken uses boneless, skinless thin chicken breasts laid in a casserole dish and topped with a flavorful mixture of sweet corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder. The chicken is seasoned with salt, garlic powder, and an optional cayenne pepper for gentle heat, then baked uncovered in the oven until cooked through. The corn mixture provides a creamy and tangy layer that keeps the chicken moist and imparts a mildly spicy and citrusy flavor profile. After baking, topping with crumbled queso fresco and chopped cilantro adds texture and herbal brightness, completing the dish.
The result is a well-balanced entrée with tender baked chicken and a creamy, flavorful corn topping that reflects the essence of Mexican street corn. This dish works well as a main course for a weeknight dinner or casual gatherings. The creamy corn topping can serve as a side and pairs nicely with simple rice or a fresh salad if desired.
