Description
A delicious and creamy dish featuring chicken cooked in a garlic butter sauce with sweet corn and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups frozen sweet corn
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the frozen corn and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamed corn mixture over the top. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add diced bell peppers or spinach to the corn mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
