High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 6 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes is straightforward with these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your dish cooks evenly.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is coated well to enhance flavor.
3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This step builds an aromatic foundation for your creamy sauce.
5. Add Liquids: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add dried thyme and mix well, allowing the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Add the halved baby potatoes, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce to absorb the flavors.
7. Bake: Top the chicken and potatoes with shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.

This simple yet effective process allows you to create a wholesome dish packed with flavor!
