Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While potatoes are roasting, season chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add heavy cream, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Serve the creamy garlic chicken alongside the crispy roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes: Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch. Meal prep friendly: This dish keeps beautifully in the refrigerator for up to 4 days – simply reheat gently. Lower carb option: Replace potatoes with roasted cauliflower for a keto-friendly version.
