Description
A delicious one-pan meal featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy basil sauce with sweet corn and fresh tomatoes. Perfect for a quick and flavorful dinner.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears of corn)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh corn kernels and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and the corn is tender.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped fresh basil leaves to the sauce and stir to combine.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the creamy basil sauce with corn and tomatoes over the chicken.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the creamy basil chicken skillet hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
