Equipment

Method
 

Marinate the chicken
  1. Combine lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then stir to mix.
  2. Add chicken, coat well, and marinate for 30 minutes at cool room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Char on the Blackstone
  1. Heat a Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Place chicken on the hot griddle and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add jalapeños and corn to the griddle, cooking until charred.
Rest, slice, and serve
  1. Remove chicken from the griddle and let it rest briefly before slicing.
  2. Serve sliced chicken topped with charred jalapeños and corn, then finish with cotija cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

For maximum char and caramelized corn, spread jalapeños and corn in a single layer and don’t crowd the griddle surface. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days; freeze chicken (without toppings) for up to 2 months. To make it dairy-free, swap cotija for crumbled cotija-style dairy-free cheese or omit it and add extra lime and cilantro for brightness.
