Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roast potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender inside.
  3. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream or Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over each piece. Serve immediately with crispy roasted potatoes alongside. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting to remove excess starch. Substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream to reduce fat content while maintaining creaminess. Meal prep friendly - stores in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
