Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear them for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken simmer for 20 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of fresh corn kernels, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and salt to taste to make the sweet corn salsa.
Mix well to combine all the ingredients. Serve the shredded chicken topped with the sweet corn salsa, and enjoy it in tacos, on a salad, or in a wrap!
