A comforting dish of seared chicken in a creamy garlic sauce served with crispy roasted baby potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights or family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder (divided)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (halved)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the halved baby potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, rosemary or thyme, salt, and black pepper. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through until golden and crisp.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to scrape up the browned bits from the pan, letting it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them, simmering for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Serve the creamy garlic chicken hot with roasted baby potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream or swap baby potatoes for sweet potatoes.
