Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp butter divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned, drained
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  4. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the corn and cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  6. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Simmer until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
  9. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and coated.
  10. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy corn sauce.
