Chicken, Zucchini, and Fresh Corn Bowl


Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced or diced
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add zucchini and corn to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes until zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add paprika, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine and heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish before serving.
  • Use a mix of yellow and green zucchini for a colorful presentation.
  • You can add a splash of cream or coconut milk for a creamy version.
  • Serve over rice, quinoa, or with warm tortillas for a complete meal.
