Sauce
1/2 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup diced onion
1 1/4 tsp olive oil
1 tsp minced jalapeño pepper
2 tbsp minced red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp salt
Pinch of black pepper
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 pinch black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 tsp olive oil

Steps:

  • In a medium pan, sauté corn, garlic, and onion in oil over medium heat 1 minute. Add jalapeño and bell pepper. Cook 30 seconds. Add stock. Reduce liquid by half. Season with honey, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Transfer to blender and puree.
  • With a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick. In a shallow glass baking dish, combine chicken with buttermilk and black pepper. Marinate at least 2 hours. In a medium bowl, combine flour, paprika, salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, dry mustard and celery seed. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour until well coated. Heat oil in a large pan and add chicken. Over medium heat, cook chicken 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden. Serve each breast with 1/2 cup Sweet Corn Sauce.
