→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 chicken breasts
02 -
100 grams butter
03 -
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 -
2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds or half-moons
05 -
2 ears sweet corn, kernels removed
06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Pepper, to taste
08 -
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until fully melted and bubbly.
02 -
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, setting them aside for later use.
03 -
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly under cold water, trim off both ends, and slice into thin rounds or half-moons.
04 -
Remove the husks and silk from the sweet corn and cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
05 -
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
06 -
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet with the melted butter, evenly spaced. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
07 -
Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
08 -
In the same skillet with the remaining butter, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
09 -
Add the sliced zucchini to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the butter and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and turn slightly golden.
10 -
Stir in the sweet corn kernels, mixing well with the zucchini and garlic butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the corn is tender and heated through.
11 -
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them among the zucchini and corn mixture. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
12 -
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately, ensuring each plate gets a portion of chicken and vegetables.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken and vegetables just before serving.
02 -
For a thicker sauce, stir in a tablespoon of flour to the melted butter before adding the garlic.
03 -
Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for spiciness.
04 -
Swap zucchini for other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus, if desired.
