•4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•3 tablespoons paprika
•2 dashes red pepper, or to taste (optional)

3.Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the corn, grape tomatoes, and green onions until the tomatoes are soft and begin to release their juice, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
