This delicious and comforting Chicken and Potatoes with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce is a one-pan dish that's easy to make and packed with flavor. Here's how to prepare it:
ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Brown the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet or pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
2. Cook the Potatoes:
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes to the pan, cut side down.
Cook the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden crust.
3. Prepare the Cream Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan with the potatoes.
Stir and cook for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
4. Simmer the Sauce and Potatoes:
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until it's fully melted and incorporated.
5. Return the Chicken:
Return the browned chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them among the potatoes and the sauce.
6. Finish Cooking:
Let the chicken and potatoes simmer in the sauce for another 3-4 minutes to fully cook and allow the flavors to meld together.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste.
7. Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and potatoes for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve the Chicken and Potatoes with Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce hot, straight from the pan.
