Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 pound of potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work well)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Start by washing and chopping your potatoes into small cubes. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both the chicken and potatoes with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once crispy, transfer the potatoes to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Reduce heat to low, add the minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and a splash of water or chicken broth to create a creamy sauce. Return the chicken and crispy potatoes to the skillet, coating everything in the sauce.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra zing.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor garnish.
- Marinate the chicken with garlic and herbs for 30 minutes beforehand for extra tenderness.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon to add brightness to the dish.
