One-Pan Creamy Garlic Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 chicken breasts (about 1 lb), diced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheese (a mix of cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with all-purpose seasoning, salt, and pepper, add to the skillet, and sear for about 5-6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, stir, and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the shredded cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Return the chicken and the roasted potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat.
  • Sprinkle an extra layer of cheese on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil on high for 2-3 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve straight from the skillet.
