This creamy chicken dish is a perfect combination of tender chicken, sweet corn, aromatic tarragon, and juicy tomatoes, all cooked in a rich and creamy sauce. The flavors blend together beautifully to create a comforting and satisfying meal that your whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the corn and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Stir in the fresh tarragon and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  8. Serve the creamy chicken over rice or pasta, garnished with additional tarragon leaves.
