Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, turning halfway through.
  4. While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, Dijon mustard, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  9. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  10. Serve the creamy garlic chicken alongside the crispy roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the garlic and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
