How to Make 15-Minute Corn and Chicken

  • STEP 1.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your chicken breasts with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • STEP 1.In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the corn to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.
  • STEP 2.Pour in the salsa and mix it with the corn. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes, so the flavors blend together. The salsa adds a tangy kick that complements the sweetness of the corn and the savory chicken.
  • STEP 3.Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and return them to the skillet with the corn and salsa mixture. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken is coated with the flavorful corn mixture.
  • STEP 4.Garnish your 15-minute dinner chicken and veggies with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. You can pair it with rice, quinoa, or even enjoy it as a standalone dish. It’s a simple yet hearty meal that satisfies every time.
