Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the corn kernels, heavy cream, paprika, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
