Description

This Garlic Butter Chicken with Zucchini and Corn is a quick, flavorful dish perfect for weeknight dinners. Tender chicken breasts are cooked in rich garlic butter, then combined with sautéed zucchini and sweet corn for a wholesome, satisfying meal. Garnished with fresh parsley, this recipe offers a delightful blend of savory and fresh flavors in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons garlic butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet and garlic butter: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic butter, allowing it to melt and infuse the pan with rich garlic flavor.
  2. Season the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance their flavor.
  3. Cook the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a golden-brown crust.
  4. Remove chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate to rest.
  5. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced zucchini and corn. Cook them over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and the corn is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Combine chicken and vegetables: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and toss everything together gently to blend the flavors and warm the chicken through again.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for a pop of color and fresh herbal aroma before serving immediately.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen corn depending on availability; if using frozen, thaw beforehand for best texture.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking of chicken and vegetables.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or a light salad for a complete meal.
