Sweet Corn Carbonara

Corn_Carbonara_v2_01.jpg

We know that a classic pasta carbonara, made with very distinct ingredients, is nearly a sacred dish in Rome. However, we couldn't help riffing on the original with a summery flare! Our recipe substitutes bacon for traditional guanciale and features the addition of summer sweet corn, and basil fresh from the garden. We hope you enjoy this easy and delicious summer dinner as much as we did!

Bucatini alla Carbonara with Grilled Corn, Bacon, & Basil
Serves 4

Ingredients:
12 oz bucatini
6 slices thick-cut bacon
4 ears sweet corn, grilled and kernels removed from the cob
1/3 cup pecorino romano, finely grated
2/3 cup parmesan, finely grated
2 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
10 leaves fresh basil, chiffonade cut
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions:
1. Preheat the grill and grill the corn cobs on direct heat, turning until slightly charred about 3-4 minutes per side. Once the corn has cooled, remove the kernels from the cob using a corn stripping tool. Wash and thinly chiffonade the basil.

2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet. Once the bacon has cooked, let it cool on a paper towel-lined plate. Once it's cooled, slice or crumble into bite-sized pieces. Discard the excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the whole eggs and the egg yolks. Whisk together. Mix in the finely grated pecorino romano, parmesan cheese, and freshly ground pepper to the eggs. Whisk the mixture until well-combined and set aside.

4. Cook the bucatini according to the package instructions in a large pot of well-salted water until al dente. Reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water for finishing the sauce.

5. In the large skillet, immediately mix the hot pasta with the egg mixture and about 1/2 to 1 cup of the reserved pasta water. Stir the pasta together with tongs until the noodles are coated and a silky sauce is formed.

6. Add the cooked bacon and grilled corn to the coated noodles. Stir until combined. Serve immediately with a garnish of basil and extra cheese, as desired. Enjoy!

Let's make dinnertime easier! Prepare a big batch of marinated and grilled chicken breasts and then transform that chicken into three delicious meals. IN THIS ISSUE, we feature three easy recipes using grilled chicken - fajitas, quesadillas, and green enchiladas.

Garlic & Lime Grilled

Chicken Garlic & Lime Grilled Chicken:
6 chicken breasts - some now, some later 

Marinade:
1 tablespoon lime zest (about two small limes)
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Garlic & Lime Grilled Chicken Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the lime zest and the marinade spices: chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.  

2. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or in a sealable bag inside of a large bowl. 

3. Pour the vegetable oil and lime juice over the chicken, then sprinkle with the spice mixture. 

4. Rub the chicken with the spices until it is completely coated. 

5. Cover the chicken and refrigerate. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or overnight. 

6. Fire up the grill! Heat the grill; ensure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled. 

7. Grill the chicken over direct heat until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, turning as needed. 

8. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. 

9. Enjoy the chicken immediately or slice, dice, or shred to use in future recipes.

Chicken Fajitas
Serves 4 

Fajitas are a colorful, delicious, and healthy option for getting dinner on the table quickly! With the chicken already marinated and grilled, simply grill onions and peppers to add to the chicken. Complete the tasty fajitas with an array of toppings! Some of our favorite fajita toppings include sour cream, cilantro, salsa, hot sauce, a squeeze of lime, salsa, and a little guacamole! 

Fajitas:
2 chicken breasts (marinated, grilled, and diced)
4 flour tortillas, warmed
1 red pepper, sliced into strips
1 green pepper, sliced into strips
1 sweet onion, sliced pole to pole
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper 

Toppings:
Sour cream,  Avocado,  Lime wedges,  Fresh cilantro leaves,  Salsa, and/or hot sauce  

Directions:
1. Prepare the chicken breasts according to the Garlic & Lime Chicken directions above. 

2. Prepare the veggies. In a large bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onion with the olive oil, Kosher salt, and pepper. Grill the peppers and onion in a grill basket over direct heat or sauté in a skillet on the stovetop. Stir the vegetables often and cook until slightly charred in spots and cooked to your desired tenderness. 

3. Toss the cooked vegetables with the grilled chicken slices.

4. Serve with warmed tortillas and a variety of your favorite toppings.


Loaded Chicken Quesadillas
Serves 4 

These quesadillas are loaded with grilled and diced chicken, black beans, spinach, corn, and plenty of cheese. We love quesadillas for lunch or dinner. Everyone can customize their order to their own preference. Add additional flavor with a variety of toppings! 

Quesadillas:
2 chicken breasts (marinated, grilled, and diced)
8 tortillas
8 oz pepper jack cheese, grated
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
8 oz frozen corn, thawed
4 oz spinach leaves 

Toppings: 
 Sour cream,  Avocado,  Lime wedges,  Fresh cilantro leaves,  Salsa,  Pickled jalapeños,  Hot sauce 

Directions:
1. Prepare the chicken breasts according to the Garlic & Lime Chicken directions above. 

2. Use a panini press or a skillet on the stovetop to cook the quesadillas. 

3. Load a tortilla with a layer of pepper jack cheese, then add all of the quesadilla ingredients: diced chicken, black beans, corn, and spinach leaves. Finish with another layer of cheese, then top with another tortilla. 

4. If cooking on the stovetop use low heat and practice patience while the cheese melts! Using a large spatula, flip the quesadilla after the cheese has melted enough to hold it together. 

5. Cut the quesadilla into wedges and enjoy warm with an array of toppings.


Chicken Green Enchiladas
Makes 8 enchiladas 

Cheesy and creamy, these green enchiladas are one great definition of comfort food! The green enchilada sauce is enhanced with a filling of grilled and diced chicken, white beans, green chilies, cheese, onion, garlic, herbs, and a little sour cream. After stuffing and rolling the enchiladas, add another layer of sauce on top. Don’t forget to finish with a hearty layer of cheese. After baking, garnish with fresh cilantro. So tasty!  

Enchiladas:
2 garlic & lime chicken breasts (marinated, grilled, and sliced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried cumin
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 can (28 oz) green enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream 

Garnishes:
Lime wedges, Fresh cilantro leaves, Pickled jalapeños, Hot sauce 

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

2. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large skillet until the onion is translucent. Season the onions with oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. 

3. Add the green chilies, white beans, 1 cup of grated cheese, 1 cup green enchilada sauce, and 1 cup of sour cream. Stir to combine. Add the diced chicken and fold together until combined. 

4. Spoon 1 cup of enchilada sauce around the bottom of the pan. This recipe makes about 8 enchiladas which can fit into a standard 9x12 casserole pan, or individual sized dishes that fit 2 enchiladas each. 

5. Fill the tortillas with a scoop of the chicken mixture and roll up tightly. Place the stuffed tortillas seam side down in the pan. Pack the pan tightly. 

6. Spoon more enchilada sauce on top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle one more cup of grated cheese on top. 

7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese has started to brown and the enchiladas are bubbling hot. 

8. Serve warm with your choice of garnishes.
