Creamy Corn Chicken

Guess what!! This is the first time I cooked chicken independently. If I recall well, the last time was when I must have assisted my mom around,  15 years back. Then I moved to PGs and hostels and later on I turned vegetarian for around 8 or 9 years. I have started eating chicken again since last 2 years but never cooked it as it has been Animesh's specialty :-) Yesterday night he thawed the chicken ,but was very tired after office. And as blogging has invigorated me, I want to try my hand at everything I can eat and taste . So,I ruffled through the easy chicken recipe booklet ,rejected most of the recipes outright,because the ingredients were not at home and some of them might not be even available easily in market. I modified this recipe according to what was at home.I have used coriander leaves instead of Parsley as it was not available at home but Parsley is any day more flavorful than coriander. The original recipe has bacon too.But  I don't eat bacon,mutton ,lamb..etc etc. The original recipe didn't have any salt,oregano,pepper,chili too!!
