Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, 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. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer, then stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Serve chicken and sauce over the crispy roasted potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Make sure potatoes are completely dry before tossing with oil for maximum crispiness. Dish stores beautifully for up to 4 days - keep chicken and potatoes separate when reheating. For dairy-free version, use coconut cream and nutritional yeast.
