Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken with Zucchini and Corn is both straightforward and rewarding. Follow these instructions to achieve delicious results:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a golden brown crust. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the sliced zucchini and corn to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is tender but still crisp.
6. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it with the garlic butter and vegetables to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
7. Garnish and Enjoy: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
