Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, diced

2 cups sweet corn (fresh or frozen)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and green beans)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 sheet refrigerated pie crust

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

    Cook the chicken: Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add the corn and vegetables: Stir in the sweet corn and mixed vegetables, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.

        Create the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese into the skillet, mixing until melted and slightly bubbly.

          Prepare the pie crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the mixture simmers, roll out the refrigerated pie crust to fit over the skillet (if necessary, use a larger skillet that can go into the oven, or transfer to a round pie dish).

            Assemble the pie: Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully place the pie crust over the creamy chicken and corn mixture, pressing the edges gently to seal.

              Bake: Cut small slits in the pie crust to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

                Serve: Once baked, let the skillet pie cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
