ONE PAN CHEESY JALAPEñO CHICKEN

Steps:

• To a mixing bowl, add chicken, chili powder, oregano, kosher salt, ground cumin, black pepper, dried minced onion, and ancho chile powder. Toss and massage spice mixture into all sides of chicken.
• Add flour to a shallow bowl or plate and lightly dredge chicken in flour. Let chicken sit while you heat up your pan.
• Heat large oven-safe skillet over MED-HIGH heat. Add lime slices to pan and char for 1-2 minutes per side, until charred and brown, as desired. Remove to a plate.
• Add 2 ½ Tbsp of the vegetable oil to the hot pan and let heat through until shimmering.
• Add chicken pieces to the hot pan, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to do 2 batches, depending on the size of your pan). Cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown, then remove to plate.
• Move oven rack to the upper third part of the oven and preheat broiler to HIGH.
• Add remaining 1 Tbsp vegetable oil and then add corn kernels, jalapeno slices and garlic. Cook, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes, until corn begins to lightly brown.
• Add chicken back to the pan, and pour in lime juice and water. Cook several minutes (this time can vary depending on your stove - mine took 2 minutes), until liquid is mostly absorbed.
• Sprinkle with shredded cheese and broil for about 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
• Garnish with minced fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges or charred lime slices.
