Description
A delightful blend of creamy corn, tender chicken, and savory spices, inspired by southern cooking traditions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet over medium heat until bubbling.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika, and nestle them into the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Stir in the corn and heavy cream, allowing the mixture to simmer gently until fragrant.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F), sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
Notes
For a nutritious boost, consider adding greens like spinach or kale during the simmer. You can also use coconut cream as a lighter alternative to heavy cream.
