Description

A one-pan comfort dish featuring golden-baked chicken, tender baby potatoes, and a luscious garlic-creme sauce topped with melted Cheddar and Parmesan. Packed with 35g+ protein per serving and ready in 50 minutes, it’s perfect for weeknights or family meals.


Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 sheet parchment paper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat
Sear chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until golden; remove to a plate
Add potatoes to skillet, cook 2 minutes; stir in minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper
Return chicken to skillet with potatoes
Pour in heavy cream; cover and bake 20 minutes
Uncover, top with Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and bake 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden
Place parchment under the dish during baking for easy transfer to a serving platter


Notes

Use an oven-safe ceramic or stainless steel skillet for best results
Parchment paper prevents cheese from sticking and allows seamless plating into the pan
For extra garlic flavor, double the garlic quantity if desired
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
