Chicken With A Sweet Corn Potato Saute Recipes

CHICKEN WITH A SWEET CORN & POTATO SAUTE

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge to marinate while you work on the saute.
• Using a food processor, finely chop the onion. Set aside. Chop the garlic and add to the onion.
• Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Then cut them in half lengthwise again. Keep them cut side down on your cutting board and thinly slice them, as uniformly as possible, across the width so you end up with bite size, thin pieces.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat and add 2 T of the olive oil. Add the potatoes in an even layer and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Let them sit for about two minutes while they brown up a little, then stir. Once they have browned, add the onions and garlic and cook about 8 minutes, until the potatoes are nearly tender.
• Once you get the onions and potatoes going, add 2 T of olive oil to another large skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook it about 6-7 minutes per side.
• Once the taters are ready, add the corn to them and cook, stirring frequently, about 2 or 3 minutes. Then add the chicken stock and crank up the heat to high. Bring it to a bubble and let it go for about 3 or 4 minutes. The liquid should reduce by about half. Turn the heat off and add the butter, lemon zest and parsley. Stir until the butter melts.
• Serve the chicken on top of the saute. Yum! Makes great leftovers, too.

CHICKEN WITH A SWEET CORN AND POTATO SAUTé

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and the lemon juice. Let the chicken marinate while you get the rest of the meal going.
• Cut the potatoes into quarters lengthwise. Arrange the quarters cut side down on a cutting board. Thinly slice the potatoes across the width-you want thin, bite-size pieces.
• Heat a nonstick large skillet over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the potatoes in an even layer across the hot skillet. Season the sliced spuds with salt, pepper, and the thyme. Resist the temptation to stir the potatoes for about 2 minutes, to let them brown up a little bit. Once the potatoes brown, stir in the onions and garlic and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are flirting with tenderness. If the potatoes are getting too dark, turn the heat back a little.
• While the onions and potatoes are cooking, preheat a second large skillet with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side.
• While the chicken is cooking, add the corn kernels to the potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, turn the heat up to high, and bring the stock up to a bubble and continue to cook for 3 minutes, or until the liquids have reduced by half. Turn the heat off and add the butter, parsley, and lemon zest, stirring until the butter is completely melted.
• Serve the chicken whole or sliced on top of the sweet corn and potato sauté.

SAUTéED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH FRESH CORN, SHALLOTS AND CREAM

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Cut the kernels from the ears of corn. There should be about 1 cup. Set aside.
• Heat butter in a skillet large enough to hold the breasts in one layer. Add the chicken, cook 3 minutes and turn. Cover and cook 5 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken pieces to a hot serving dish. To the skillet add shallots and cook briefly. Add wine and bring to the boil. Add the corn and stir in mustard.
• Add cream and stir to blend. Bring to the boil and add the chervil or parsley. Pour and scrape the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve.

SKILLET CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BROWN BUTTER CORN

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Rub garlic and thyme on chicken, and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter, letting butter melt. Add chicken and sear, undisturbed, until browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
• Over medium heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides and it smells nutty and toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it doesn't burn.) Add corn and a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté until tender and golden brown, 2 minutes.
• Add chicken back to the skillet. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and corn is caramelized, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and taste corn, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in basil and squeeze 2 lime wedges over the top. Serve garnished with sliced scallions and more lime wedges.

AZTEC CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATO-CORN MASH

Steps:

• Combine oil, honey, ancho chile powder, garlic, and hot sauce in a bowl; whisk together. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag; pour in marinade and close bag. Marinate in refrigerator, 3 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Place corn in a shallow baking pan. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until corn is roasted and brown, about 25 minutes. Continue baking until sweet potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes more.
• Allow corn and sweet potatoes to cool until easy to handle, about 20 minutes. Cut kernels from ears of corn; transfer half to a blender. Peel and cube sweet potatoes; add to the blender. Add cream; puree. Transfer mash to a bowl; stir in the remaining corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from bag and place on preheated grill; discard remaining marinade. Cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Cut chicken breasts into 3 equal pieces; serve on top of sweet potato-corn mash.
