Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Season the halved chicken breasts with smoked paprika on both sides. This seasoning provides a robust flavor and enhances the aroma during cooking.
2. 2.
   Melt the unsalted butter in the skillet. Once it sizzles, place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through. The juices should run clear when the chicken is sliced.
3. 3.
   Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the drained corn. Stir it around to coat with the leftover butter and any remaining spices. This will enhance the corn's natural sweetness and give it a subtle smokiness.
4. 4.
   Drizzle honey over the chicken breasts and return them to the skillet. Cook the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes, occasionally spooning the honey glaze over the chicken. The glaze will slightly caramelize, giving the chicken a shiny, enticing finish.
5. 5.
   Plate the chicken alongside the corn medley. The sweetness of the honey pairs wonderfully with the smoky paprika and buttery corn, creating a balanced dish. Enjoy immediately while warm.
