How to cook deliciously - Creamy Chicken & Corn Skillet

1. Stage

In a large, cold skillet, arrange bacon in a single layer. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until some fat starts to render, 6 to 7 minutes. Add half of corn to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn starts to brown and bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or bowl.

2. Stage

Season chicken all over with coriander, paprika, pepper, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. In same skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to another plate.

3. Stage

In same skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallot and remaining corn and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add wine and scrape browned bits from bottom of pan. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is almost completely evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cream, broth, and mascarpone. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. 

4. Stage

Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Top with bacon mixture and cilantro. Squeeze a lime wedge over before serving.
