How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken with Roasted Baby Potatoes

Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
1 tsp dried Italian herbs or chopped fresh parsley
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper, to taste
Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast them in the oven for 25–30 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set the chicken aside.
In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then, pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. If you like, stir in Dijon mustard and Italian herbs. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens.
Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the creamy sauce over it. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Serve the chicken with the roasted baby potatoes on the side. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for an extra touch.

How to Serve Creamy Garlic Chicken with Roasted Baby Potatoes

Serve this dish hot, directly from the pan. It pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the chicken and potatoes. You can also serve it with some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

To store leftovers, let the chicken and potatoes cool to room temperature. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving again.
