Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream (or Greek yogurt), Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Sprinkle Parmesan over the crispy potatoes. Serve chicken with potatoes alongside, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Soak potato cubes in cold water for 15 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch for maximum crispiness. Use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for even higher protein content.
