Instructions

  2. Add 1 pound of cubed boneless chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
  3. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cup of corn for 5-7 minutes until veggies soften and begin to caramelize.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of paprika until combined.
  5. Pour the butter sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet, stir gently, and allow to heat through for 2-3 minutes until bubbly.
  6. Serve hot with rice or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
