I light, tasty side dish that goes well with bbq ribs or chicken. If you can't find poblano peppers (find them spicy, but other people say they are not), you can use jalapeno or cubano, but mince rather than dice them, and use 1/2 the amount or to taste; or just leave out.

Tips:
- For the best results, use skinless, boneless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken and do not move the chicken around too much while it is cooking.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a regular skillet over medium-high heat.
- To make the corn and rice, you can use fresh or frozen corn kernels. If using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking.
- You can also use brown or white rice instead of wild rice.
- To make the sauce, you can use any type of salsa you like. If you want a spicier sauce, use a salsa that is made with hotter peppers.
- Serve the chicken with the corn, rice, and salsa immediately.
Conclusion:
This pan-seared chicken with southwest corn and brown wild rice is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the corn and rice are flavorful and filling. The salsa adds a nice touch of spice and acidity. This meal is sure to please everyone at the table.
