Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cream style corn, undrained
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, whole kernel corn, and cream style corn.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, cotija cheese, cilantro, minced jalapeño, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, lime juice, and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and corn. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese and extra cotija cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let it rest for five minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • You can cook the chicken using your preferred method, such as boiling, baking, or using a rotisserie chicken for ease.
  • For a smokier flavor, roast the corn briefly before mixing it in.
  • If you prefer less heat, omit the cayenne pepper or reduce the amount of jalapeño.
