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!

Okay this was truly delicious! We had ALL the ingredients already in our house except for the white wine, so we subbed it with chicken stock, and it was a family hit! Thank you for sharing so many incredible recipes that someone like me, who doesn’t love cooking, can execute so easily. Delicious!!
Hi Kate,
Happy Monday!! I am thrilled to hear that this dish turned out well for you, thanks for trying it and your comment!🌼🌸 xx
Do you cook the corn first then cut off kernels? Or can you do it before hand?
Hey Kailey,
No need to cook the corn first, it will cook in the dish:) Let me know if you give this recipe a try, I hope you love it! xT
This was a hit with our whole family, kids and grownups! Thank you! Chicken was incredibly tender and the dish was so flavorful
Hey Val,
Happy Sunday!!🍋☀️ I appreciate you trying this recipe out and your comment, so glad to hear it was a winner! xT
This recipe was good! I do agree it has alot of steps, and even though it is one pan, I used alot of other bowls and such when prepping the food.
This would also be really good as a soup if you blend the corn up and cut the chicken smaller.
Hi Anna,
Fantastic!!🍒🍉 I appreciate you making this recipe and sharing your comment, so glad to hear it was a winner! xx
Awesome. Used boneless skinless thighs and whole milk. Loved this & would serve to guests. This was hearty and rich, but still felt fresh & summery. Thank you for this recipe.
Hey Patty,
Happy Monday!!☀️🌊 I appreciate you making this recipe and your comment, so glad to hear that it was a hit! xT
Delicious! I will definitely be cooking this dish again. Thank you!
Thanks so much Jennifer!! So glad to hear that this dish was enjoyed and thanks again for making it:) xT
This was a delicious recipe! I used Trader Joe’s frozen roasted corn, because I didn’t have fresh, and topped with cilantro instead of basil, same reason. I will definitely make this again and again! Thank you!
Hey Micki,
Happy Monday!!☀️🌊 I appreciate you making this recipe and your comment, so glad to hear that it was a hit! xT
I rarely comment on recipes but I have to for this one. This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I was out of orzo so I made pearl couscous to go with. I unabashedly used leftover bacon grease to saute the chicken. My arteries will hate me but I enjoyed it in the meantime lol. Definitely going into the rotation.
Hi Chris,
Fantastic!! I love to hear that this dish turned out well for you and appreciate you making it:) xT
do you cook the corn before removing the kernels?
Hey Jessica,
Nope, the corn will cook in the dish:) Let me know if you give this recipe a try or have any other questions! xT
This was a fair amount of steps (husking / cutting corn, cooking bacon, browning chicken) but it was so delicious and worth it! Truly dinner party worthy.
Hey Stacey,
Happy Sunday!! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks for making it and your feedback!🌼🥑 xx
Absolutely phenomenal! I’ve been trying new recipes lately to expand my family’s menu. This is definitely now one of our favorites!!! The corn with the sauce is *chefs kiss* amazing. Couldn’t stop eating it! Will 110% be adding this as one of our monthly meals.
Hi Jenna,

Hi Lily,
Happy Friday! I am thrilled to hear that this recipe was a winner, thanks a lot for making it and sharing your review!🍓🍑 xT
Yummmy! I added 3oz of cream cheese with the whole milk to make it extra creamy. Turned out delicious and everyone loved it. I’ll be making this again and again!
Hi Daphne,
Happy Friday!!🍪🍦 Thanks so much for trying this recipe and sharing your feedback, so glad to hear that it turned out well for you! xT
Best thing I’ve tried recently! I adjusted for the spice with half the red pepper, and substituted marjoram for the thyme, and dried basil as supermarket was out of fresh. I served with roasted baby potatoes and wanted to lick my plate!
Hey Samantha,
Happy Wednesday!! Thank you so much for making this recipe and sharing your review, I am so glad it was delish! xT
