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!

My family LOVED this recipe!! I served it with rice and it was fantastic!! We thought that if it was cooler out serving it with bread would be amazing!! My daughter helped cook it and said she would just eat the corn as is….but then she said that every step of the way. We will definitely be cooking this again!!
Hey Jina,
Fantastic!! I am so glad to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks so much for trying it out and sharing your feedback! xTieghan
This was fantastic! I made it with coconut milk and used bacon bits as a shortcut, because lol, working mom life, but it was a hit with the whole family, including my 4 and 6 year olds! Thanks Tieghan!!
Hey Jenn,
Amazing!! I am so glad this recipe was a hit, thanks a lot for trying it out! Have the best weekend! ☀️xx
Followed to a tee and was absolutely excellent. Thx so much for sharing.
Hi Jeanne,
Awesome!! Thanks so much for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was a winner! xTieghan
So good, and very similar to one of my favorite recipes (that uses pasta instead of the chicken…next time I may do both)! It was a little cumbersome to stir the heavy cream and parmesan in with the chicken already in the skillet, I think next time I may add the cream earlier (let it simmer in) and just top with the Parmesan at the end. I also added a little nutmeg in, since that’s been a cream sauce rule in my family ever since I was a little kid. Truly a delicious and quick dinner to put together after a long day at work!
Hey there,
Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your feedback! I am glad that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for trying it out! xTieghan
This was fantastic!
I did double the red pepper flake, and served over bow tie pasta and a nice Chardonnay. Mmmmm
Hey Rachel,
Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your feedback! I am glad that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for trying it out! xTieghan
Good, but I think I might need a different wine for next time!! Any recommendations?
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try! I like to use a Chardonnay, you could also use chicken broth in place of the wine. I hope this helps for next time! xx
Hi! Is there any substitute for Parmesan cheese? I have a nondairy friend coming to a dinner party but I still wanna be able to make this! The coconut milk rec is great, but would love an alternative for the cheese.
I’ve had lots of luck using nutritional yeast as a vegan alt for Parmesan!
Hi Elisa,
You could try a dairy free parmesan or nutritional yeast. Please let me know if you have any other questions, I hope it’s delicious! xTieghan
I am thinking about making this for a small dinner party in a few weeks. Do you think it would do well if I made it ahead and reheated it for my guests? Just trying to save time…but if you think it’s best to just cook the whole thing while we visit, them I’m fine with that too! Thanks!
Hi Carol,
I think that would be fine for you to do, I would just reheat on low in the oven. I hope the recipe turns out amazing for you! xTieghan
So excited to try this recipe! What would you recommend serving is with?
Hey Sarah,
I like to serve this with crusty bread and a big salad. Let me know if you give the recipe a try, I hope you love it! xx
Oh Teigan, we giggled with delight- this was SO good. You have forever changed the way we eat.
Thank you!

This was incredible. Sadly, I didn’t realize my ears of corn had gone bad so I ended up using frozen corn. It was still amazing.
