Easy Chicken and Corn Skillet is a simple one-pan dinner made with tender chicken, sweet corn, garlic, and fresh herbs. The natural sweetness of the corn pairs beautifully with the savory chicken, making this a quick and comforting meal for busy evenings.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups sweet corn, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Toss the chicken pieces with paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Cook the corn: Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the sweet corn and cook for 3–4 minutes until heated through and lightly golden.
- Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and dried parsley. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine everything: Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Stir well and cook for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors come together.
- Finish and serve: Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot on its own or with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
