This hearty Mexican Street Corn Chicken transforms ordinary chicken breasts into a flavor explosion inspired by the beloved Mexican street food elote. The juicy chicken becomes a canvas for creamy, slightly spicy corn topping that caramelizes perfectly in the oven, delivering restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.
The first time I made this for my family taco night, everyone abandoned the traditional tacos completely. Now this dish appears on our table at least twice a month, especially when I need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that doesn’t keep me in the kitchen for hours.
