One Pan Chicken and Jalapeno Popper Creamed Corn

[heart_this] · Sep 22, 2022 · 5 Comments

One Pan Chicken and Jalapeno Popper Creamed Corn

Pan seared seasoned chicken served on a jalapeno popper creamed corn with plenty of cheese!

Here is a quick and easy, one-pan meal where seasoned chicken is served on a bed of tasty creamed corn! The idea behind the meal is a simple take on the flavours of jalapeno poppers so the chicken is seasoned with a warm taco seasoning and it’s pan seared before making the creamed corn in the same pan. The creamed corn is pretty simple with onions, garlic, corn and the creamy sauce is made with milk and melted cream cheese and cheddar cheese! When corn is in season, like it is now, I like to use fresh corn but frozen works any time of the year! This light and tasty meal only takes about 30 minutes to make so it’s great for busy weeknights, or any time!

    This looks so delicious! And the color contrast between the perfectly seared chicken and the creamy corn just makes it look that much better.

    The recipe doesn’t indicate if fresh corn is being used, is it supposed to be cooked first?

      I prefer fresh, when available, but thawed frozen corn works as well! The corn is cooked/warmed in step 4. Enjoy!
