Corn and Chicken Enchiladas

1 pound boneless chicken thighs, breasts, or tenders
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 ears corn
1 bell or poblano pepper
1 yellow onion, quartered
2 whole garlic cloves, peeled
2 1/2 cups salsa or salsa verde
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus more for serving
10-12 corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Avocado, yogurt/sour cream, crumbled cotija/feta, and limes, for serving
 
Heat the oven to 400 F.
 
If using chicken thighs or large chicken breasts, cut them into smaller pieces for faster cooking.  On a baking sheet, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Arrange the corn, pepper, onions, and garlic around the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the baking sheet. Switch the oven to broil. Broil the vegetables until lightly charred, 1-2 minutes. Watch closely, then remove everything from the oven.
 
Shred the chicken with two forks. Remove the corn kernels from the cob, de-seed the pepper and cut into slices, and chop the onions and garlic.  Toss with 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup cheese, and the cilantro.
 
Pour 1 cup of the salsa onto the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla, tuck, and roll. Place the tortillas, seam side down, into the baking dish. Pour the remaining salsa over top of the enchiladas. Top with the remaining cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Top as desired and enjoy warm!
 
Serves 6.
