Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into chunks)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 1 medium zucchini (sliced)

  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  3. Make garlic butter: In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Add veggies: Stir in zucchini and corn. Cook for 4–5 minutes until just tender.

  5. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in garlic butter.

  6. Finish: Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn off the cob for extra sweetness.

  • Add cherry tomatoes for a burst of acidity.

  • Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread if not low-carb.

  • Leftovers store well for up to 3 days refrigerated.
