AD Cornmeal/Panko Crusted Chicken Breast w/ Grilled Corn and Chive Butter

Ingredients - Corn w/ Chive Butter
  • Corn on the Cob
  • S & P 
  • Garlic Powder
  • Butter
  • EVOO
  • Chives
Start out by boiling some water, just enough to cover the corn when placed in the pan. Also, shuck that corn....






Add the S & P and garlic powder to water.
Put corn in pan and boil until soft. Most of the cooking should be done in the water. The grilling part is just to give it some flavor and make it look nice. You know people eat with their eyes first, so the more appetizing a dish looks the more Absurdly Delicious it will taste.




While the corn is boiling get some butter and some fresh chives. I started growing chives in my office at work about a year ago and it is one of the best ideas I could have done. 




Put some black pepper on the butter and chop the chives. I like to use scissors to do this, it makes it a lot easier.
Add the butter and chives together until combined. Take a fork and mash the butter until it is soft. Then form it back into which ever shape you'd like. 




Set aside and finishing cooking the corn.
Once the corn is nice and soft from it boiling you can throw it on a grill pan with some EVOO to mark it up.




Keep turning the corn until it is marked on all sides, then remove from the heat.

Next, the chicken....


Ingredients - Chicken Breast
  • Chicken
  • Yellow Corn Meal
  • Panko Breadcrumbs
  • Egg
  • Water
  • S & P
  • Garlic Powder
  • Poultry Seasoning
  • Veg Oil - for frying
Start out by putting the veg oil in a big pan and getting it roaring hot, then put the cornmeal/breadcrumbs/egg wash in 3 separate bowls.

Add the S & P, garlic powder and poultry seasoning to the corn meal and the panko. Mix up well. I like to season everything, you can really taste the garlic powder and poultry seasoning in the crust.

Next in the bowl that has the egg add a little bit of water and scramble up.





First put the chicken in the cornmeal, this gives the egg something to hold onto. The chicken is moist so the cornmeal sticks to it. The egg is also wet so it sticks to the other side of the cornmeal. 



Then dip it in the egg wash 


Lastly the panko.



Drop in the pre-heated oil and cook until golden brown.




Once the chicken is cooked all the way through. Take out of the oil and place on a plate lined with a paper towel. This will help drain off some of the extra oil. Before all the oil dries I like to add a little more S & P.  Again just seasoning at every level.


Mmmmm Perfect.


Put on a plate and add the corn. Rub some of the chive butter on the corn and let it melt down the sides.

Pretty soon you will have this.....


Bon Appetit Bitches!!!!
