Smokey Paprika-Lime Chicken with Char-Grilled Corn

1. Prepare the Marinade

Combine the smoked paprika and ground cumin in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and fresh lime juice to the spices, and mix them together until you have a well-blended and slightly thick marinade.

2. Coat the Chicken and Corn

Lay the chicken cutlets and husked corn on a large baking sheet. Brush them all over with the prepared paprika mixture, making sure every surface is evenly coated. Sprinkle with a generous amount of coarse kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

3. Grill the Corn

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill rack. Grill the corn for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels start to brown and caramelize in spots.

4. Grill the Chicken

While the corn is grilling, place the chicken cutlets on the grill. Grill the chicken for approximately 2.5 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through and feels springy to the touch.

5. Finish and Serve

Remove the chicken and corn from the grill. Sprinkle the chicken with the grated lime zest and minced fresh thyme. Serve the smokey paprika-lime chicken alongside the char-grilled corn.
