Ingredients:

Serving

1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
3/4 tsp dried thyme, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3/4 tsp paprika
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups fresh corn, cooked and cut from the cob
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup diced orange bell pepper
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Directions:

Fill a large skillet with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. Add lemon slices, bay leaf, peppercorns and 2/3 of the thyme, and bring to boiling over high heat. Add chicken, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-18 minutes, turning chicken once, until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken from liquid and set aside to cool.
In a small skillet, stir together the paprika and remaining thyme over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the toasted paprika mixture, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, ground pepper and nutmeg until evenly blended.
Cube cooled chicken and transfer to a medium bowl. Add prepared dressing, corn, cilantro, orange pepper and jalapeno and toss until evenly coated. Serve warm, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
