Garlic Butter!! Creamed Corn Chicken! Oh my gosh, is there anything better? This chicken is made in under an hour, uses just one skillet, and is beyond delicious. It’s creamy, garlicky, packed with corn, and finished with fresh herbs and parmesan. Perfect cozy, summer dinner for any night of the week.
This is what I call summer comfort food. As you guys know, come the fall months I’m all about cozy, comfort foods, but I also think that summer can use a cozier recipe or two. Enter this creamed corn chicken.
It’s cozy, but yet totally summery at the same time, and I am in love with it.
Plus, it’s a one skillet, no oven, kind of recipe. So for those of you who don’t want to do a lot of dishes and can’t even begin to think about turning on the oven in the summer heat, this is your dinner.
Before I dive into all the details, I have to say thank you to everyone who commented on Monday’s post. I was so thrilled to see that so many of you enjoy my stories in addition to my recipes. Rambling on about life isn’t what most people recommend doing within a recipe blog post, but I’ve decided I don’t really care. I’m all about sharing my life stories with you guys!
I was also so excited to see so many of you commenting. Summer typically is a very slow time for the online/digital world, but it really excites me to see so many of you still reading away and commenting. I absolutely LOVE hearing from you guys and your kind words, feedback, and even (constructive) criticism, are what keep me energized and excited to share new content with you guys every single day.
So long story, short, thanks so much for reading and hanging out with me everyday! Hope you guys feel like we are friends cooking together in the kitchen…
Speaking of which, I finally posted my first IGTV video and now we can totally can be cooking together in the kitchen. Well kind of!
I made my favorite Blueberry Chamomile Galette and had a lot of fun putting it together…but I’m not going to lie, being on camera is hard, but in a weird way, I kind of love it too. It’s definitely difficult to watch myself though. Like I just can’t do it. Thank God I don’t have to edit these or I would delete everything.
This is just the first video I’ve done, and I am filming solo while using my iPhone, so it’s for sure not perfect, but then nothing in life is perfect! That said, hoping to improve the quality of the videos now that Kai is in town to film!
Anyway, let me know what you guys think and what type of video content you would love to see!
OK. Garlic. Butter. Creamed Corn. Chicken.
Here are all the delicious details.
Since it’s summer and it’s super hot, I wanted to create a recipe that was quick, simple, easy, required no oven, but was still delicious. That is this chicken.
It all starts with crisping up some bacon in a large skillet. The bacon is our first layer of flavor here, and while you can choose to leave it out if you prefer, I do think it adds so much flavor and pairs perfectly with the sweet corn. It’s up to you but…
I’d use the bacon.
Once the bacon is crisp, you’ll sear the chicken, then cook the corn with some butter, garlic, and herbs until it’s golden and smelling delish. Add a little white wine and simmer that all together until the chicken is cooked through.
Finish things off with some cream, some cheese, and fresh basil, and dinner is complete.
You see?
Cozy, summer comfort food!
I really could not love this skillet dinner more. It’s simple, but yet so full of flavors that everyone really enjoys. I love serving this chicken over steamed quinoa for a healthy, protein packed grain, but brown or white rice is equally delicious. Make a side salad or some grilled veggies and you’ll have the perfect simple summer dinner.
SO GOOD. I know I say this every single day, but this recipe really is good. It’s one of those recipes that you’ll crave time and time again. Plus the sauce kind of just melts in your mouth. YUM!

Wow! This is becoming one of my favorite websites for recipes. This dish had so much depth of flavor – sweetness of corn, savory, delicious!!! This is definitely a keeper & a go-to recipe for corn. I love it that your recipes tend to have a pinch of red pepper to add a little bit of a kick, as well.

Very good. We enjoyed it!
Hey there,
Fantastic! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am delighted that it was enjoyed:) xTieghan
Made this for dinner tonight and after following the recipe exactly, I felt like it just missed the mark. All the ingredients felt dull and nothing stood out. The bacon on top was probably the best part because it just had flavor. Also surprising that after cooking everything in a lot of bacon grease, that bacon flavor wasn’t really there. It was creamy (if not a little too soupy) but not very flavorful. It was very easy to make, which is a plus! Overall, wouldn’t make again.
Hey Cat,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try, sorry you did not enjoy! xTieghan

Hell Tieghan,
I own two of your cookbooks, but must be over looking this recipe. Is it in one of them, or is it newer? If it is a newer recipe, will you be coming out with a third book soon? Thanks!
