PrintTender chicken breasts in a creamy garlic sauce, paired with crispy roasted baby potatoes for a cozy, crowd-pleasing meal.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved if large
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes, flipping once.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet and sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add remaining butter and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, scraping pan. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
Add heavy cream and Parmesan. Simmer gently until thickened.
Return chicken to skillet and cook in sauce 8–10 minutes until done.
Serve chicken topped with sauce and roasted potatoes on the side. Garnish with parsley.
Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
Use coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Add greens like spinach or kale during final cooking stage.
Store sauce and potatoes separately for best reheating.
