Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken fillets
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 5.5 oz. spicy Spanish chorizo diced
  • 9 oz. canned corn kernels drained
  • 2 garlic cloves minced divided
  • dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp. salted butter
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • cup whole milk
  • 5.5 oz. cream cheese I used Boursin with shallot & chives
  • red pepper flakes for serving
  • 2 tbsp. chopped chives for serving

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken fillets with 1 tsp each: salt, black pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a non-stick frying skillet over medium high heat. Add chorizo, cook for 3 minutes until it starts to get crispy. Stir in corn, cook for 5 minutes or until the corn is golden. Add ½ of the minced garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 tsp oregano, ½ tsp salt and black pepper. Remove from skillet, leaving as much grease as possible in the skillet.
  • Add butter to the skillet, let it melt. Add chicken and cook, for 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and browned on both sides. This can vary with the size of your chicken. Remove from skillet and place on a clean plate. Cover with foil.
  • In the same skillet. Add onion and the remaining garlic, cook over low heat, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in white wine and stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add milk and bring to a boil. Stir in cream cheese.
  • Return the chicken together with the released juices to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. If needed, add milk to thin out the sauce. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Top with crisped corn and chorizo, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and extra black pepper. Enjoy!
