Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 4 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme or rosemary)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While potatoes are roasting, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Combine dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes. Serve the creamy herb chicken alongside the roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for more even cooking. Let cream sauce reduce naturally - avoid high heat to prevent separation. For extra crispy potatoes, soak in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch.
