Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 ears of corn, husked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are well-coated.
- Roast the Corn: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the husked corn directly on the grill. Rotate occasionally until the corn is charred and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: While the corn is roasting, place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Combine Flavors: Once the chicken and corn are cooked, remove them from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Serve: Serve the sliced chicken alongside the grilled corn. You can garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
