Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness, then coat evenly in 1/2 cup flour mixed with paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear coated chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet, then cook onions for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in diced tomatoes and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened, then return chicken to the skillet.
  5. Step 5: Stir in corn and simmer covered for 12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F. Remove from heat, stir in lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro until flavors meld.
