One Skillet Mexican Street Corn Chicken

Spice up your weeknight dinner with this easy one skillet Mexican street corn chicken recipe! Featuring tender chicken, charred corn, and a flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.

We are so obsessed with Mexican street corn here that we have been trying it all sorts of ways…elote corn salad, sheet pan Mexican street corn, in a pasta salad, and I still have so many ideas!

It pairs so deliciously with chicken, and I’ve tried this easy chicken dinner recipe a few ways. This version is my absolute favorite! We basically take tradition Mexican street corn and pile it over some crispy juicy chicken.

At first, I thought it would be best with grilled chicken, but that wasn’t it. It felt like two separate dishes and I didn’t like whole breasts as it didn’t feel as casual and easy to eat. So I cut the chicken into the bite-sized pieces and pan fried it, and it came together beautifully! If you are looking for a new chicken recipe, then give this one a try!

Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe [+Video]

Savor the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas! Tender shredded chicken wrapped in soft flour tortillas, smothered in a creamy sauce made completely from scratch, and baked to golden perfection. The ultimate comfort food, ready in no time!

I grew up not loving my mom’s enchiladas. I’m sorry mom. I think I’d love them nowadays, but because she uses a condensed soup which I pretty much never have, I’ve come up with an adapted version that uses sour cream and a roux instead of the condensed soup. Though, if you all want the old version let me know in the comments! I don’t even use an enchilada sauce in this recipe and you won’t even miss it!

Ingredients for Chicken Enchiladas from Scratch

We are essentially making cream of chicken soup from scratch, which may seem like extra work, but I love knowing everything going into my dinner! Using rotisserie chicken will save us some time, and everything else is so easy to get your hands on. Here is everything you’ll need:

• Butter: combines with the flour to create the roux for the creamy white sauce
• All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the white sauce.
• Chicken Broth: adds chicken flavor
• Sour Cream: makes the white sauce extra rich and creamy
• Diced Green Chiles: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor
• Rotisserie Chicken: Break down a whole chicken yourself or buy the prepackaged rotisserie chicken breast meat that is sold at Costco.
• Monterey Jack Cheese: I recommend buying a block and grating it yourself.
• Mexican Cheese Blend: found with all the other cheeses in the cheese section
• Taco Seasoning: I like to make my own big batch and keep it on hand for when it’s needed, but a store-bought brand works fine too.
• Flour Tortillas: Grab your favorite store-bought brand or make them yourself. If you go with store-bought, I recommend the uncooked tortillas that you cook yourself.

Double Dipped Crispy Fried Chicken [+Video]

Southern friends, I swear y’all are the masters of comfort food. Nobody does it quite like the South—especially when it comes to fried food. And let’s be real, Southern fried chicken is in a league of its own.

Growing up in a home with a dad from Oregon and a mom from Idaho, fried chicken wasn’t really ever made. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t eat it.

Looking back, this is really quite ridiculous and a little embarrassing to admit, but whenever we went out and had a picnic, we would get fried chicken from… well, from KFC. There, I said it.

Oh gosh, lol, it’s kind of funny if you think about it. I mean, my mom cooked all of our meals, and we practically never ate out, but then we go on a picnic and we take a bucket of fried chicken. Bahahaha.

Southern Fried Chicken

It’s crunchy on the outside and with juicy divine chicken underneath. This is the best fried chicken. It is our absolute favorite and totally irresistible. We use tender chicken breasts, but you could easily swap them for thighs, drumsticks, and even wings!

Southern food is a favorite around here, like our smoked beans, southern cheese crackers, and southern corn bread (which is the best corn bread EVER.)
