Technique to learn

Velouté-Style Blended Corn Emulsion

Blending whole corn kernels into dairy creates a starch-enriched sauce base that thickens naturally without adding flour.

Instructions

Step 1: Combine half of the sweet yellow corn, cream cheese, and heavy cream in a blender, processing until smooth to create a creamy corn base.
Step 2: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, adding diced onion and minced garlic to saute for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Add shredded chicken, remaining whole corn kernels, and blended corn cream to the skillet, stirring to combine thoroughly.

Step 4: Season sauce mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, simmering for 5 minutes until hot throughout.

Step 5: Preheat oven broiler to high and scatter shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the top of the chicken mixture.

Step 6: Broil skillet 4 inches from heat for 3 to 4 minutes until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, then scatter shoestring potato sticks over top before serving.

Cooking tips

Scatter shoestring potato sticks immediately before serving at the table to preserve maximum crunch.
Shred poached chicken breasts while still warm to achieve thin strands that hold cream sauce efficiently.
