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 was incredible. We aren’t even huge corn fans, but we had 5 ears in our weekly CSA box so I was looking for a clever way to use them. I substituted cornstarch for the flour and almond milk for the heavy cream (we don’t do wheat flour or dairy in our house). Everyone has requested this be added to the dinner rotation! So, SO GOOD!

Amazing! I added chopped zucchini at the same time as the corn just doesn’t some extra veggies. Soooooo good!

I just moved into a new apartment in a new state, ahead of my moving truck. With only one frying pan currently at my disposal and craving a home cooked meal, this dish caught my eye as one that I could make happen tonight. It was perfect to get my new kitchen stocked up with some basics. My dish doesn’t look half as pretty as yours, but WOW is it delicious! and hearty! and just what I needed after a long day!! Scooping up seconds now.
My mom showed me your site and we have plans to use it as a way to cook/bake together at a distance as we share recipes!
Thank you!!!
