Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides and almost cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and dried thyme. Mix until the sauce is smooth.
  8. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained corn.
  9. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a slightly lighter sauce.
  • If you prefer shredded chicken, cook the breasts whole, shred them, and then return them to the sauce.
