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

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let the sauce thicken for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir well. Cook for 3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Splendid Chicken and Corn dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
