Cilantro-Pepper-Corona Chicken, Oven Fries with Cilantro Cream, and Corn on the Cob

Tonight was one of those nights where I had a few ideas and just starting putting things together as the ideas came to me. I didn't have any recipes, just a bunch of fresh ingredients and some creative ideas on how to pull them all together. The result was a great dinner for a weeknight, and one that will go on my list of things to definitely make again!

Cilantro-Pepper-Corona Chicken




Ingredients

• 1 pound of chicken trimmed and cut into cubes
• 1 handful of cilantro, chopped
• 1 red pepper, chopped into large pieces
• 1 large jalapeno, chopped with seeds
• 1/2 of an onion, chopped into large pieces
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• Cumin, chili powder, and salt
• 1/2 cup Corona
• Juice from 1/2 of a lime

Directions

• Mix chicken with the cilantro, spices, and half of the beer. Set in the fridge for about an hour
• Make a foil packet and mix the marinated chicken with the peppers, onion, garlic, lime juice, and the rest of the beer
• Wrap it up and cook it on the grill for about 20 minutes. That's it!!

Oven Fries with Cilantro Cream

• Chop 1 baking potato into slices
• Toss with olive oil, salt, cumin, and chili powder
• Bake on 400 for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through

Cilantro Cream:

• Mix 1/2 cup sour cream with a handful of chopped cilantro. Chill.

The cilantro cream was the perfect dipping sauce for the spicy fries. The cream was even good on the chicken.
