For the Chicken
- 3-4 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Main protein for the dish.
For the Potatoes
- 1 pound Baby Potatoes Small, firm potatoes for faster cooking.
For the Sauce
- 4 cloves Fresh Garlic Minced for flavor.

For Seasoning

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and add the baby potatoes to the same skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they’re golden and tender.
- Lower the heat, then add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Gradually pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to blend everything smoothly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it’s completely melted and creamy. Sprinkle in your choice of fresh herbs for that bright flavor boost.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the delicious sauce over it. Cover and let it simmer for 5 minutes, so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Plate the chicken alongside the potatoes, drizzling the remaining creamy sauce over the top for extra indulgence.
Notes
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Monitor chicken temp to 165°F for perfect cooking.
