Ingredients Needed

- Corn: You’ll need about 4 cups of cooked corn, which comes to about 4 cooked cobs.
- Seasonings: Aside from salt and black pepper, I add smoked paprika and chili powder to my chicken to give it a pop of savory and bold flavor.
- Olive Oil
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs: You can use chicken breasts instead, but thighs will give you an especially tender and flavorful meal.
- Zucchini
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Garlic: I prefer to use fresh
- Fresh Cilantro: Using nice fresh herbs will give this dish its signature bright flavors.
