Sometimes the simplest recipes steal the show. Golden, butter-seared chicken breasts get crowned with a vibrant Mexi-corn salsa that brings all the color and crunch you could want on a plate.

The chicken cooks in about 11 minutes total, so you are looking at a 30-minute meal from cutting board to dinner table.

Cherry tomatoes and fresh cilantro finish the platter with pops of red and green that make this look like you spent way longer than you actually did.

This is Tex-Mex comfort at its easiest, and it feeds six without breaking a sweat.

Kitchen Tips

  • Use your favorite store-bought corn salsa: Or make your own with charred corn, black beans, diced peppers, and lime juice for a fresher take.
  • Let the chicken rest a minute before plating: This keeps the juices inside the meat instead of running all over the platter.
  • Pile the salsa on generously: The corn salsa does double duty as both topping and side dish. Do not be shy with it.
