How to Make Louisiana Chicken And Corn

  1. Rinse and pat dry 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Dredge chicken breasts in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center (about 6-8 minutes per side).
  6. Remove chicken from skillet and place on a serving platter. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.
  7. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 cup frozen corn, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley to the skillet drippings.
  8. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes, until the onion is lightly browned.
  9. Spoon the onion and corn mixture over the chicken.
  10. Increase heat to high. Add 1 cup chicken broth, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp dried basil, and 1 tsp dried thyme to the skillet.
  11. Cook until the sauce is reduced by half (about 3-5 minutes).
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp cornstarch and 2 tbsp cold water until smooth.
  13. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir constantly until the sauce has thickened.
  14. Serve the chicken and corn mixture over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and a few drops of your favorite red pepper sauce.
