Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place 4 tablespoons of the lime juice in a small, shallow dish. Add chicken and turn to coat on both sides. Marinate for 1 hour.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, place half of the corn in a food processor and pulse just enough to chop coarsely. Scrape into a medium saucepan. Put the remaining corn in the food processor with the milk. Process until pureed. Add to the saucepan.

  3. Step 3

    Place the pan over medium heat and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat a grill or broiler. Remove the chicken from the lime juice and grill or broil until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. While the chicken is cooking, stir together the remaining lime juice and salt, the cilantro, jalapeno, lime zest and olive oil.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the corn mixture among 4 plates, placing it in the center. Lay a piece of chicken over the corn and spoon the cilantro mixture on top. Serve immediately.
