(Tortitas de Papas y Masa con Pollo Asada)
Category: Masa Dough Snacks
Strips of pan-grilled chicken are stacked on a crisp potato masa cake for this modern Mexican presentation. The chicken can also be cooked on an outdoor grill, if desired.
Potato Masa Cakes (4 cakes)
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears) or frozen corn kernels (thawed)
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Fresh salsa, purchased or homemade
Sour cream
Chopped cilantro
1. Preheat the oven to 200°. Prepare the Potato Masa Cakes, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the chicken. Rub the chicken with the 2 teaspoons of oil and season with about 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until browned with grill marks on the outside, firm to the touch, and no longer pink inside at the thickest part.
2. Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the corn with the butter, stirring, until completely heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve in the pan off heat.
3. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and slice thinly crosswise. Remove the potato cakes from the oven and put 1 cake in the center of each of 4 warm plates. Arrange the chicken strips equally on top of each potato cake and top each with some salsa and a dollop of sour cream. Spoon a portion of the corn around the cakes on each plate. Scatter chopped cilantro over all.
