📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start the rice; gather ingredients
2
Start the brown rice, if using — cook using your preferred method. While that goes, gather and prep the remaining ingredients.
Brown Rice, 200 g
3
Season & sear the chicken breast.
4
Thin out the chicken breast to an even, flat size by butterflying it with a knife (cutting it open like a book). Season evenly with salt on all sides, then generously cover all sides with a generous coating of the spices. Preheat a pan or griddle over high heat. Once smoking, add enough oil to coat the cooking surface. Add the chicken to the pan, then allow to sear undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a deeply browned crust. Flip to sear the other side. Remove from the heat once the bottom has also developed a crust and the internal temperature of the breast reaches 155°F/68°C. Set aside.
Salt, a sprinkle

Prep the corn “elote” mix
Corn, 50 g
6
If using frozen corn, microwave the kernels to warm them up. Mix together with coriander and crumbled queso fresco. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
