Cheesy Rice Corn Skillet Food

CHEESY SOUTHWEST RICE AND CORN

Steps:

• Bring water to boil in medium saucepan. Stir in rice; cover. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 min. or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and red peppers; cook 4 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Add corn; cook and stir 3 min. Add garlic; cook 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Fluff rice with fork. Add to cooked vegetables along with the cheeses, chiles and 1/4 cup cilantro; stir until shredded cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.

CHEESY CORN SKILLET DIP

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Add the corn and grill, turning onto all sides, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then remove the kernels.
• Put a cast-iron skillet on the grill and heat. Drizzle with some olive oil and add the onions. Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the poblano slices and season with salt and pepper. Add the corn kernels to the skillet, then add the cheese and mix to combine. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and/or plantain chips for dipping.

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.

CHICKEN STREET CORN SKILLET

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix the chicken, corn, cream cheese, mayonnaise, green chiles, garlic, green onions, butter, chili powder, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup Cotija and 1/4 cup cilantro. Juice in 1 lime and mix well.
• 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.
• Add the tomatoes, avocado, green onions, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper to a bowl. Toss to combine. Garnish with the cilantro.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND CORN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken pieces in the hot oil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• At the same time, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add corn, cover, and steam until halfway tender but still crunchy, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Mix chicken, rice, corn, mild Cheddar cheese dip, cream of mushroom soup, chives, and bacon bits together in a medium to large bowl. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil casserole until cheese has a golden look, about 2 minutes more. Let casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving hot.
