Ingredients
Method
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a clean plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and corn kernels to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes blister and release their juices.
- Stir in the lemon juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestle it among the vegetables, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Marinate the chicken in lemon and herbs for deeper flavor. Do not crowd the pan when searing the chicken.
