SKILLET CHICKEN WITH CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a shallow dish.
• Coat chicken on both sides with the flour mixture.
• Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, until well browned. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking the chicken until it's cooked through, 7-10 minutes more.
• Remove the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Add the creamed corn and yellow corn to the skillet, stirring to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
• Serve the chicken and corn sauce over brown rice or quinoa. Sprinkle with cilantro or parsley and sliced green onions.

CHEESY CHICKEN & CORN SKILLET

Steps:

• In a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium high heat, add 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Season both sides of chicken breasts evenly with ¼ tsp. pepper. Add chicken to skillet and sear until golden on both sides, about 5 min. per side. Transfer to a plate to let rest.
• Add remaining olive oil to skillet. Add chopped onion and garlic, season with remaining pepper and cook until onion starts to become translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2 min. Add cherry tomatoes and corn, stir to coat in onion-garlic mixture. Lower heat to medium; cover and let cook for about 15 min. until tomatoes burst open.
• Meanwhile, slice chicken breasts on a diagonal.
• Remove lid from skillet; top tomato and corn mixture with sliced chicken and cubed VELVEETA. Cover to let VELVEETA melt and chicken warm, about 10 min. Remove lid. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

SKILLET CORN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut the corn from the cobs into a bowl, then use the blunt side of the knife to press and scrape the cob all the way down to get all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside.
• Add butter to a very large skillet over medium-high heat and melt. Add the corn and toss. Add the cream and some salt and pepper to taste, then simmer for 20 minutes. Garnish with more fresh pepper.

CREAMY CORN SKILLET CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, balsamic, sugar, crushed garlic and juice of 2 lemons in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Add the chicken and marinade to a resealable plastic bag and marinate in the fridge for 3 hours.
• Take the chicken out of the marinade and dry off. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill to high heat. Place a large cast-iron skillet on one side of the grill. Place a smoker box or foil pan with wood chips on the grill.
• Once the smoker has begun to produce smoke, liberally oil the grill grates and place the chicken on the grates. (We are just looking for a quick hard sear on both sides to get that char flavor. The goal is to finish cooking in the creamy, smoky corn.)
• Add the butter to the skillet along with the Fresnos, poblanos, onions and remaining 3 whole cloves garlic. Saute until the onions are translucent and chiles are tender, about 10 minutes. Deglaze with the sherry and add the fresh corn, squash, zucchini, cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan and half of the stock. Season to taste.
• Add the chicken to the skillet and lower the grill to medium. Close the lid and smoke the skillet over medium heat, playing with the position of the skillet to ensure you get the liquid to simmer ever so slightly, until the chicken hits 160 to 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. Take the skillet off the grill and pour in a little chicken stock if the sauce is very thick. Add the remaining lemon juice on top and garnish with the cilantro, remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and crushed corn nuts.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND TATER TOT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and the chicken to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink on the outside and has released some juices, about 5 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in the oven). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a medium bowl; leave the juices and as much oil as possible in the skillet.
• Add the bell peppers, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir to combine. Once the mixture looks sandy, add the broth and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth. Fold in the beans, corn, chicken, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Sprinkle the top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Remove from the heat.
• Add the potato tots to the bowl with the remaining 3 tablespoons spice mixture and toss to coat. Arrange the tots over the chicken mixture in a single layer in concentric circles. Sprinkle with any spice mixture left at the bottom of the bowl and the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake until the tots are crispy and the casserole is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with guacamole, sour cream, salsa and cilantro, if desired.

• Add the rice to a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or baking dish and spread to cover the bottom. Top with the chicken and corn mixture, spreading as needed. Top with the pepper jack cheese and a sprinkle of chili powder. Bake until bubbly and browned, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/4 cup Cotija and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cut the remaining 2 limes into wedges. Serve with the warmed tortillas, chips and lime wedges on the side, and with the Tomato Avocado Salad.
