Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; cook in the skillet until golden brown (about 6 minutes per side). Remove from the pan.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add zucchini and corn; cook until tender yet crisp.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, add soy sauce, and simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.
  5. Serve hot, drizzling any remaining sauce over the top.

Notes

– For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in garlic butter for up to two hours before cooking.

– Feel free to swap zucchini for other vegetables like bell peppers or asparagus based on your preferences.

– Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for perfect juiciness.
