Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables:
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup zucchini, diced
- 1 cup corn, frozen or fresh
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
Butter Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce, low sodium preferred
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, zucchini, and corn to the skillet with the chicken. Continue to sauté everything together until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare the butter sauce: In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, honey, soy sauce, and paprika. Mix well until the butter is softened and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add the sauce to the skillet: Pour the butter sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Butter Chicken Skillet hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice or fresh bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
