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!

We loved it! Perfect with fresh summer cornm but wondering if you have any suggestions for cutting the corn off the cob without it flying everywhere on the counter and floor 🙂
Thank you!
Hi! I usually lay it down and cut the corn off the sides instead of cutting it up and down!
So to be honest I only made this because I had very limited ingredients and I saw this recipe, had everything and decided it sounded okay. I made it with lowish expectations and after sitting down dinner with my family, we all agreed that it was FABULOUS and we’ll definitely be adding this to our summer rotation!
Hi there! Thanks so much, I’m so so glad you enjoyed this recipe! xT
This could not have turned out more delicious. This might be my favorite recipe so far!! Amazing.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Have a great week! xT
This is so delicious. I used chicken bacon and wilted some spinach in at the end. Everyone loved it.
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Have a great week! xT
Great recipe!! Perfect way to use summer corn!
Thanks sooo much! xT
Can you use frozen corn in place of the fresh? Looks delicious!
Yes, definitely!
This was outrageously good! My whole family raved about it and ate every last morsel. I followed the recipe to a tee. I think it would be great even with frozen corn, but using fresh corn on the cob and fresh basil made it a really fresh summer dish. I served it over brown rice which was perfect.
Thank you so much Rachel! xT
OMG. This looks delicious. It’s 0.50am where I am and I could happily eat a plate now.
I’d love to use the bacon but it is what it is 🤷♀️.
Haha perfect! Hope you enjoy this recipe! xT
Holy yum! My husband can’t stop eating this dish. It will he an item on repeat. Thanks for sharing such scrumptiousness.
So glad you loved the recipe! Thanks so much for giving it a try! xT
We did not enjoy this recipe at all. Way too much corn and too light on flavor.
Hi there! I’m so sorry to hear this recipe wasn’t enjoyed, I really appreciate the feedback! xT
Wow, I doubled the corn (who can resist fresh, in-season sweet corn) and everyone loved it.
Absolutely delicious
Thank you so much Taylor! xT
This was a super easy (except cutting the corn LOL) and extremely flavorful. My husband wanted to stop eating it but he just couldn’t! This recipe is a keeper.
So easy and so good. I made it with rice and roasted asparagus though that wasn’t needed. Will definitely be making this again.
Awesome! So glad you loved this chicken! xT
This was so good. The only change I made was I used bone broth instead of water. It’s easy & delicious.
Hi Debbie,
Happy Wednesday!!🫐🍒🍓 I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it and your feedback! xT
This was delicious and was not difficult to prepare. I especially loved that I could chop/prep the ingredients as I went rather than chopping/prepping the entire recipe before I start cooking. It was so good that we did not have any leftovers because our 3 year old feasted on the chicken. As always – thank you for making dinner time interesting.
Hi Amanda,
Fantastic!! So glad to hear that this recipe was a hit, thanks for making it:)
