hey guys deronda here with foods 101 today i'm going to show you how to make this southwest lime
chicken absolutely delicious and you can master it too the ingredients you're gonna need is two
six to eight ounces of boneless skinless chicken breast one half cup of pepper jack cheese i like
to shred my own cheese and if you'd like you can substitute this with colby jack
or cheddar cheese one half cup of your favorite salsa one tablespoon of fresh cilantro leaves
or you can use a half a teaspoon of dried cilantro leaves this is actually optional
one half teaspoon of salt 1 4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper 1 4 teaspoon of ground cumin
a few tablespoons of pickled jalapenos you can find these in the jar in the supermarket
one half cup of fresh or frozen corn i'm using fresh one tablespoon of olive oil or you can
substitute with canola oil and one lime that i've sliced in quarters let's first start by seasoning
our chicken breasts i'm going to start with the salt we want to be a little generous with our salt
the cayenne pepper a little bit goes a long way the cumin and again a little bit goes a long way
but it needs to have these fabulous flavors flip them over remember you just don't want to season
one side of your meat and again we're gonna start with the salt cayenne pepper and your cumin over
here to a frying pan over medium heat we're going to add the olive oil swish it around in your pan
add the chicken breast we're going to cook each side for three to four minutes
and at this point you want your oven preheated to 350 degrees fahrenheit
after four minutes we're going to flip it over to the other side
and we're gonna let it cook an additional four minutes now we've got a lovely sphere
on the pretty side of our chicken breast now we're going to bake this in the oven on the middle rack
for the next 15 minutes use your timer and no peeking about five minutes left of our chicken
baking we're going to take that salsa put it in a large bowl along with your corn and your cilantro
if you're using it like i said i use fresh cilantro or you can use dry that fresh cilantro
really gives this chicken fabulous flavor and i like to take one fourth of my fresh lime and
squeeze it in there and give it a lovely little tossing add this to the top of your chicken
last five minutes of baking spoon it over oh my goodness is gonna be so fresh and lovely
kind of separate your chicken breasts because they're gonna be two
single servings next we're gonna add the cheese and just add a whole lot right there on the top
of each of your chicken breasts add a couple of your pickled jalapenos here on the top if you
want to add more you be my guest three is my lucky number for my pickled jalapenos back in the oven
for the last five minutes southwest lime chicken ready to serve and let me show you how i plate
it up i like to serve it on a bed of jasmine rice with that chicken breast get some juices on there
just like that looky there how beautiful that is add a touch of fresh cilantro and a fresh lime
make it a little bit festive around the plate just like that doesn't that look like a five-star meal
and you can do it too take your one-fourth of lime or if you want to use more you be my guess
squeeze it on the top and you're gonna get freshness like nobody's business go right in here
let's see what it tastes like there you go the chicken is seasoned just perfectly with those
spices that corn that salsa fantastic let me show you what it looks like here on the inside
