Ingredients
For the Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
For the Roasted Baby Potatoes
1 ½ pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Make sure every piece is lightly coated.
Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Give them space so they crisp up nicely.
Roast for 30–35 minutes, turning halfway through. They should be golden brown with crisp edges and tender centers. Sprinkle with fresh parsley while they’re still warm.
2. Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them sear beautifully.
Rub each piece with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Press the seasoning gently into the surface so it sticks.
3. Sear the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken. You should hear a steady sizzle.
Cook for about 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Keep all those flavorful bits in the pan — they’re important.
4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet and let it melt.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir gently, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 4–5 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
5. Bring It All Together
Return the chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce generously over the top.
Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld.
Serve hot with the roasted baby potatoes on the side and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a bright finish.
Presentation Tips
Slice the chicken before serving and fan it out slightly on the plate.
Spoon extra creamy sauce over both the chicken and a few potatoes — it’s too good to waste.
Add a little extra grated Parmesan on top for a polished look.
A simple side salad with lemon vinaigrette balances the richness beautifully.
