Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
- Add the halved baby potatoes, tossing them in the sauce.
- Place the seared chicken on top of the potatoes, spooning a bit of sauce over the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a crispy finish, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Bone-in chicken thighs can be used, but increase the baking time slightly.
- Swap heavy cream for half-and-half if you prefer a lighter sauce.
