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!

This is probably not the same, but can I use “white wine vinegar” in place of the white wine?
Hi Stacy,
Definitely not:) You could use chicken or veggie broth in place of the white wine. Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope you love the recipe! xTieghan
I made this tonight. It is delicious! I used coconut milk and nobody missed the cream. Thanks!
Hi Beth,
Awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed! xx
I love skillet recipes and I will be making this again. I had all the ingredients in my house so that was nice. I did not do the bacon and I added some fresh mushrooms with the corn to cook. I also used frozen corn. 5 star recipe.
Hey Holly,
Thanks so much for making this recipe, I am so glad it was enjoyed!! Have the best week:) xTieghan
Can I replace the cream and corn with creamed corn I have at home? Don’t have time to go to the store today ?
Hi Camille,
Sure, I bet that would work well for you. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
This was such an awesome recipe. Tasted great and not hard to make. I love all the HBH recipes but this one is by far my favourite. I was never a fan of cooking before, but now I look forward to weekly meal preps with recipes like this!
Hey Alex,
Thank you so very much for trying this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! xxTieghan
This was outstanding! I used four chicken thighs and a bag of white frozen corn (which I thawed and drained). I’d never used white corn before, but it’s what was at the store at the time. It made a very sweet dish but so delicious! I didn’t make the bacon bits but did use bacon grease to brown the chicken and cook the onions and have it all great flavor. We had it over cubed roasted potatoes. I’ll definitely be adding it to my recipe book!
Hey April,
I love to hear that this recipe worked out for you, thanks a bunch for giving it a try! xTieghan
Hi! Do you think I could make this recipe earlier in the day and put in crock pot on warm? For Christmas Eve we will go to church and I need food to be done already when we come back. Thank you!
Hi Rachel,
Sure, that should work well for you! I hope you love this recipe, please let me know if you give it a try! xTieghan
Can this recipe be made without the white wine or what can be used as a replacement?
I would use chicken broth! 🙂 xTieghan
This recipe was awesome! I made it for all my roomates for supper and they all raved about it! Thanks for the awesome recipe that I will be adding to my recipe box!
Hi there! Thanks so much for trying out this recipe, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xTieghan
Made this recipe last night for dinner using chicken thighs-it was delicious! We loved it. Loving all your recipes I’ve tried so far! You’ve gotten me excited about cooking different things- thank you! ?
Hi there! Thanks so much for trying out this recipe! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂 xTieghan
This recipe is AWESOME!! I wouldn’t change a single thing! Made it for a huge family dinner and it was a hit all around! Definitely will be making this again!
Hi Claire! Thank you so much for trying out this recipe, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it! xTieghan
Very yummy!! This goes perfect with a side of stuffing. I was out of bacon but it was still delicious without. I was also out of white wine so I used 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. It came out so good!!
Hi Ashley,
Awesome!! I am thrilled to hear this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for making it! Happy Holidays!? xT
This dish was delicious – I used 2 large ears of corn and it was plenty. Also added sliced mushrooms. It was a bit time consuming with chopping and slicing the kernels off the corn cob but worth it! Don’t skip the wine!
Hey there,
I love to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, I truly appreciate you giving it a try!!? xTieghan
Perfect way to use up some herbs from the garden! So much flavor packed into this dish. Served it with a big salad and it was a hit (even though my corn was very sad to begin with!).
Hey Sara,
Happy Monday! I love to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks a lot for giving it a try! xTieghan
This is absolutely delightful. I added sweet green peas and cherry tomatoes at the end and served over zucchini noodles. One of my new favourite meals. 10/10
Hey Kirsten,
Happy Friday!! I am thrilled that this recipe was a winner, thanks so much for giving it a try! xTieghan
First off, I’d like to tell you how much your an inspiration, and how everyday I look through your recipes to find the perfect dinner! I have gifted your cookbooks and made many of your recipes; everything is absolutely to die for! I have made this recipe twice now, I will admit, this is the only recipe that ends up seeming more oily than what it’s supposed to. Regardless, it is still amazing, but any recommendations on how to correct this? I am using chicken thighs, gluten free flower, and start by frying in the bacon grease. I add a touch of oil once everything from the bacon has been used up; is this what could be causing a slight oily outcome?
P.S… I just love you overall and am inspired everyday. I cooked your pesto caprese chicken for friends and family last week. This recipe tonight. And plan on making your spinach artichoke salmon tomorrow! Keep ‘em coming, you are my biggest meal inspiration to date!
Hey Talia,
Thanks for making the recipe, the additional oil and use of chicken thighs are definitely why you are getting so much oil. I would try chicken breasts and skipping the additional oil next time. I hope this helps! xTieghan
