How to Make Authentic Chilean Pastel De Choclo With Shortcuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Saute in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until browned on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef. Drain excess fat and transfer to a large bowl.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon chili flakes, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Add the sauteed onion mixture to the ground beef. Mix well.
  7. Pack the meat mixture into a greased 9-inch ovenproof casserole dish.
  8. Arrange 1 cup cooked chicken, sliced, 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced, and 1/2 cup sliced green olives on top of the meat mixture.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine 2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn, 4 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  10. Pour the creamed corn mixture evenly over the meat and chicken mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  11. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra sugar on the side (optional).
