  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


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.
