Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with a portion of the salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over high heat. Add the chicken and sear for about 1.5 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pot; it does not need to be cooked through at this stage.

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Stir in the creamed corn, sweet corn kernels, chicken stock, and milk. Add the remaining salt and pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

While the broth is heating, cut the seared chicken into small 1cm (0.4") cubes.
