Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mexican Street Corn Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy. Allow it to sit for a few minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lay the thin chicken breasts in a baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Season with salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, pressing the spices into the meat.
  3. Spread the corn mixture generously over the top of the chicken breasts. Cover the chicken evenly with the corn topping.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Once baked, let the dish rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco and freshly chopped cilantro on top.
