  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cloves chopped garlic
  • 1 chopped yellow onion
  • 2 ears corn

Method

Pasta

  • Step 1

    Start by preheating oven to 375. Place corn and red peppers on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray or drizzle with avocado oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until charred. (broil for a few minutes if needed)

  • Step 2

    Boil pasta according to package instructions. Season chicken with (seasonings above) on both sides. (I used Trader Joe's African heat seasoning, but I have listed the alternative!)

  • Step 3

    In a large skillet, heat avocado oil. Add chicken. Add onion, and garlic. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side. And reduce heat to cook chicken through, while onion and garlic get fragrant.

  • Step 4

    Once corn has cooled- slice it off the cob. Slice chicken once it has set.

  • Step 5

    In a large bowl, combine cooked onion and garlic, green onion, parsley, chives, gouda, cooked and sliced chicken, red peppers, and toss together with cooked and drained pasta. Zest and juice half of a lime in, and toss.

  • Step 6

    Add a few tablespoons of chipotle aioli, and toss again.

  • Step 7

    Serve warm or chilled, with extra aioli to top.
