Cooking With Mrs. Claus!

Back in the kitchen cooking this weekend!

Tonight’s dish: Mexican Street Corn Chicken Bowl!

Ingredients:

Chicken
boneless chicken breast or thighs
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt & black pepper to taste
olive oil

Corn
2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, canned)
2 Tbs mayonnaise
2 Tbs sour cream
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 cup Cotija cheese or Feta, crumbled
1 Tbs lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
(optional a small drop of liquid smoke)

Rice:
2 cups cooked rice of your choice (white, brown, basmati, etc)
2 tsp lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Toppings:
sliced avocado or guacamole
diced tomatoes
sliced jalapeños
black beans, rinsed
lime wedges
extra crumbled Cotija cheese

Instructions:
1. In a Ziplock bag, combine chicken, olive oil, lime juice, chili powder cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Massage the marinade into the chicken and marinate for 4 hours or for best flavor, overnight in the refrigerator.

2. The next day, heat your grill, grill pan to medium-high heat and cook 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees. Or Air Roast chicken in the air fryer at 400 for 4 minutes at a time flipping each time until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees. Let the chicken rest while preparing the rest of the dish.

3. Cut up your desired toppings.

4. In a mixing bowl combine
mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and Cotija cheese and cilantro, (optional: for a smoky flavor if not using a grill). In a skillet, (if not grilling fresh corn on the grill), heat frozen or canned corn until charred. Resverve about 1/4 cup of street corn sauce in a small dish. Once the corn is browned combine the corn to the bowl of street corn sauce and mix together to fully coat.

5. In another mixing bowl combine your rice of choice with lime juice and fresh cilantro.

6. Assemble bowls by dividing ingredients into individual bowls. Start with the rice then black beans, street corn, chicken, avocado, slice cherry tomatoes, jalapeños and then drizzle some of the reserved street corn sauce on top.

Note: You may top your bowl with whatever toppings you enjoy. I did use my air fryer to cook my chicken. This was the first time I cooked raw meat in the air fryer and it came out well. I over cooked it by 3 minutes or so but it was fine mixed in the bowl. I will not make that mistake again. The flavor was very good. I could only ate about 1/4 of my bowl. I will be bringing the other 2 containers for dinner at my dad’s this week. Also, next time I think I am going to cook the jalapeños in the skillet with the corn instead of topping the bowl with them raw. I plan on making more bowls and various stir fry’s in the future by making my own sauces with fresher and organic ingredients. AND NOW TO CLEAN THE DISHES AND PANS!

What is cooking in Mrs. Claus’ kitchen?!?! As we get closer to Christmas Santa needs to eat more than just cookies! So tonight we dine on:

Ravioli with tomato and asparagus!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound asparagus cut
2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 Lemon
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 package of refrigerated cheese ravioli

Directions:
Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside in a small amount of water to prevent sticking. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Add the cherry tomatoes and garlic to the skillet then season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Pour in the chicken broth and squeeze the juice of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to combine with the vegetables and sauce. Stir in the fresh basil, parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve the ravioli hot, topped with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

*You could also use a different flavor ravioli like spinach and cheese or mushroom ravioli! Food is an adventure! Enjoy it!
