Chicken Maque Choux

Chicken Maque Choux

Chicken Maque Choux

Chicken what? It is pronounced “mock shoe” and it is Cajun in origin. It is the perfect skillet supper when sweet corn is at it’s peak as is right now in Florida.

Fresh sweet corn is everywhere right now. The fresher the corn the better it tastes. The sugars in corn break down to a starch very quickly once the corn is picked. When picking corn it isn’t necessary to peel it back to look at it piece. Look at the tassels, they should be brown and sticky, if it is dried out the corn is old. You can feel the ears of corn and feel if the kernels are plump. If not using the corn the day you buy it put in the refrigerator in the vegetable drawer, Watch of the Fresh From Florida labels when out shopping or when dining out.

Fresh From Florida

Today there are all kinds of ways to fix sweet corn and I always love it when it is cut off of the cob which makes this recipe for Chicken Maque Choux perfect. It also has fresh chopped tomatoes, green onions and chopped peppers in it. I used a red jalapeno pepper in mine but any flavor of pepper you like will work.
