Creamy Chicken and Corn Skillet
3-4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz bacon, chopped
- 2 cups corn
- 2 tbsp Lactantia unsalted butter, divided
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 ¾ tsp salt, divided
- 1 ¼ tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ¾ cup Lactantia 15% cooking cream
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
Garnish:
- Cilantro, chopped and whole
- 1 lime, cut in wedges
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet, arrange the bacon in a single layer. Cook over medium heat to render the fat. After 7 minutes, add half of the corn and stir occasionally. Once the corn begins to brown and the bacon is crisp, transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl.
- Season the chicken with 1¼ teaspoons salt, coriander, paprika, and pepper.
- In the same skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Sear the chicken on both sides, then transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the shallots, remaining corn, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Continue cooking until the wine has nearly evaporated.
- Add the cream and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- To serve, divide the corn mixture among plates. Place a piece of chicken on top, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with lime and cilantro.
