  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 ears corn, kernels removed from the cob
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk, cream, or whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Season chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides in egg, then flour.

  3. Sauté vegetables: Add remaining olive oil and butter to skillet. Sauté corn, garlic, and thyme for 5 minutes, or until corn is golden.
  4. Make sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add cream, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
  5. Combine chicken and sauce: Slide chicken into sauce and simmer for 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Serve: Serve chicken topped with fresh thyme, basil, and lemon wedges.

Optional additions:

  • For extra flavor: Add chopped red onion or green bell pepper to the skillet with the corn and garlic.
  • For a tangier taste: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or lime juice to the sauce.
  • For a spicier kick: Increase the amount of cayenne pepper.
  • For a richer sauce: Use heavy cream instead of milk.
