Description

A comforting dish combining tender chicken breasts with the vibrant flavors of Mexican street corn, perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups Mexican street corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a casserole dish, combine the chicken breasts, Mexican street corn, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mix until the chicken is coated in the creamy mixture, ensuring every piece is enveloped in flavor.
  4. Generously top with shredded cheese, allowing it to melt and form a golden crust.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is beautifully cooked through and tender.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Make ahead by assembling the chicken and corn mix a day in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
