Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
  • 2 cloves (minced) garlic
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 1.5 cups frozen sweet corn
  • 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the frozen sweet corn. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the corn is tender and the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken and let everything cook together for another 3-4 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
