Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
Others
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic butter, allowing it to melt and infuse the pan with rich garlic flavor.
- Season and cook chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then place them carefully in the skillet.
- Cook chicken thoroughly: Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchini and corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, mixing everything together so the flavors meld.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish just before serving for a pop of color and fresh taste.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen corn depending on availability.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking of the chicken.
- This recipe pairs well with a side of rice or crusty bread to soak up the garlic butter sauce.
- If you prefer, substitute the garlic butter with olive oil and minced fresh garlic for a lighter option.
