Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds chicken breast, sliced
• 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, quartered
• 2 cups green beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon chili flakes, optional
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Start with the potatoes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, just until they begin to soften. Drain them and set them aside.

In a bowl, toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if you like a little heat.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden on the outside and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, just until it smells fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir everything together, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

Add the potatoes to the sauce and stir gently until they’re coated. Let them cook a little longer, until tender and creamy around the edges.

Meanwhile, steam or boil the green beans for 4 to 5 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp.

Arrange the chicken, potatoes, and green beans in a serving dish. Spoon the creamy garlic paprika sauce over the chicken and potatoes, then finish with fresh parsley.

Presentation

Serve this dish in a shallow bowl or large platter so the creamy sauce can settle around the chicken and potatoes. A sprinkle of parsley adds freshness and color.

For an extra cozy touch, add a little cracked black pepper on top and serve it with warm bread to soak up the sauce.
