Preparing High-Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken Potatoes can be a delightful experience if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sautéed chicken, heavy cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well combined.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9. Rest: Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and added flavor.
By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible dish that will impress everyone at your table.
