Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add butter. Once melted, add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring continuously to form a paste. Cook the flour mixture for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir well. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy corn sauce over them. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Splendid Chicken and Corn dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
