This Street-Corn-Inspired Weeknight Dinner Has Chicken, Rice, and Everything Nice
theSkimm
Friends, countrywomen, lend us your ears…of corn, that is. Because we can’t stop making Jenn Eats Good’s Street-Corn-Inspired Chicken and Rice — basically most of what we love about Mexican elote, but in an easy weeknight dinner that comes together in under an hour, in one pan. Think: smoky spiced chicken thighs, sweet corn, and toasted rice all cooking together, then topped with cotija cheese, lime, and cilantro.
