Time 1h30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each), split
Kernels from 6 large ears of corn
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
4 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Place 4 tablespoons of the lime juice in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat on both sides. Marinate for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, place half of the corn in a food processor and pulse just enough to chop coarsely. Scrape into a medium saucepan. Put the remaining corn in the food processor with the milk. Process until pureed. Add to the saucepan.
  • Place the pan over medium heat and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  • Preheat a grill or broiler. Remove the chicken from the lime juice and grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. While the chicken is cooking, stir together the remaining lime juice and salt, the cilantro, jalapeno, lime zest and olive oil.
  • Divide the corn mixture among 4 plates, placing it in the center. Lay a piece of chicken over the corn and spoon the cilantro mixture on top. Serve immediately.
