Maque Choux is a Cajun dish made with corn, cream, bell peppers and tomatoes. It makes a good accompaniment to ham and chicken and is even good for breakfast served with bacon. In this recipe it is used to “smother” sautéed chicken.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the corn oil in a skillet. Season the chicken with salt and add to the skillet. Sauté until browned. Remove and reserve.
In a Dutch oven or other oven proof casserole, heat the remaining oil. Add the onions and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until soft but not brown.
Add the corn, peppers, tomatoes, thyme to the onions and season with some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
Add the cream and bring back up to a boil. Allow to reduce slightly.
Transfer the chicken to the casserole. Place, uncovered, in the oven and cook about 35 minutes.
Stir in the basil. Cook an additional 5 minutes.
