Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss quartered potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat remaining olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Bring to simmer, then stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Stir in fresh parsley and thyme. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chicken alongside roasted potatoes with extra sauce.

Notes

Pound chicken to even thickness for consistent cooking. Don't overcrowd baking sheet for crispy potatoes. Use fresh herbs in sauce for better flavor. Adjust sauce consistency with chicken broth if needed.
