Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare High-Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken Potatoes:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
3. Prepare the Potatoes: While the chicken is cooking, place the diced potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook for about 10-12 minutes or until tender, then drain.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and combined.
5. Combine Ingredients: Layer the cooked potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the seared chicken on top of the potatoes, then pour the creamy garlic sauce over everything.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
