Instructions
Creating High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Make the Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
8. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
