Ingredients:
- 🍗 3 chicken breasts
- 🌽 1 can (432g) of corn
- 🧀 1 1/2 cup of cotija cheese
- 🥄 1 1/2 cup of Hellmann's mayonnaise
- 🌶️ Chilly powder (to taste)
- 🌿 Cilantro (for garnish)
- 🍋 Lime (for garnish)
- 🧂 Salt (to taste)
- 🧂 Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Chicken Breast: Take the chicken breasts and cut each in half. Place them on the prepared sheet pan, and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Topping Mixture: In a large bowl, mix together the can of corn, cotija cheese, and Hellmann's mayonnaise until well combined. This mixture is the secret to juicier and flavorful chicken, thanks to the creamy texture of the mayonnaise.
- Assembly: Spoon the corn and cheese mixture evenly on top of each piece of chicken, ensuring they're well covered.
- Cook: Cover the chicken with foil to lock in moisture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the foil and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Add a sprinkle of chili powder for a spicy kick, and garnish with fresh cilantro. Don't forget to squeeze some lime over the top for a tangy brightness.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delicious blend of textures and tastes!
