Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini by washing and slicing it into half-moons. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the corn and zucchini slices, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
- Drizzle remaining melted butter over the mixture, add more seasoning if desired, and stir until everything is well coated. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
