Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

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.
