For the Chicken

For the Veggies
  • 4 ears Fresh Corn Canned corn (1 cup) can work in a pinch.
  • 2 medium Zucchini or Summer Squash Substitute with bell peppers or asparagus.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts or thighs with ¼ cup of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken, sautéing for about 5–7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the shucked corn and sliced zucchini. Season and cook for about 3–4 minutes until slightly charred.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, toss everything together, and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes before removing from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and sprinkle chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Marinating chicken overnight enhances flavor. Ensure skillet is hot for proper searing. Watch the vegetables to avoid a mushy texture. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
