  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts and potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Drizzle everything with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to ensure even browning.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the halved or quartered baby potatoes. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re crispy and golden on the outside. If needed, add a little more olive oil or reduce heat to prevent burning.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Reduce heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into a creamy sauce that coats the potatoes.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes. Spoon some of the garlic parmesan sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is patted dry before seasoning for better searing.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet—cook in batches if necessary.
  • Reserve some parmesan cheese to top the dish just before serving for extra flavor.
  • For a healthier option, bake the chicken and potatoes on a sheet pan instead of pan-frying.
