Ingredients

2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness)
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
0.25 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
0.5 cup heavy cream
0.25 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)

Instructions

Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the corn kernels and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the sauce is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the skillet chicken immediately, topped with the creamed corn. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.

Notes

Pair with quick-bake biscuits or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
