  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (for potatoes)
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Prep potatoes: Toss halved baby potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, dried thyme or rosemary, salt and pepper. Spread on tray and roast 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.
  3. Season chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  4. Sear chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. Make sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté ~1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Finish: Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the breasts, and simmer 2–3 minutes to combine flavors.
  7. Serve: Plate chicken with roasted baby potatoes and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Roast potatoes until very crispy—flip once for even browning.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of chicken broth or pasta water.
  • For extra flavor, marinate chicken 30 minutes ahead with a little olive oil and garlic powder.
