Cut the corn kernels off the cobs using a sharp knife and set them aside in a large bowl.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the garlic and oil.
Pour in 1 cup of water, cover the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and most of the water has evaporated.
Lower the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and coating the corn.
Season the corn with salt and pepper, adjusting the quantities to taste.
Stir in the fresh parsley, cilantro, and chives, tossing until the herbs are evenly distributed.
Transfer the herbed corn to a serving dish or bowl and serve warm.
