Creating Skillet Creamed Corn Chicken is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.
3. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add Corn and Broth: Stir in the corn kernels, chicken broth, thyme, and a little more salt and pepper if desired. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes so the flavors meld.
6. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, letting it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Return the Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet, covering it with the creamy corn mixture. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and flavor.
9. Serve: Scoop the creamy corn sauce over the chicken breasts and plate accordingly.
