Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced, divided
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
- While potatoes roast, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken pieces with the remaining 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Add chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add half of the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining half of the minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Serve the creamy garlic chicken immediately with the roasted baby potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
