Ingredients
For the Chicken and Potatoes:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 pound (450g) baby potatoes, halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Ingredient Notes
- Chicken: Thighs stay juicier, but breasts work well if you prefer leaner meat.
- Potatoes: Use baby potatoes or Yukon gold for creamy texture.
- Keto Version: Replace potatoes with cauliflower florets or turnips.
- Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan melts smoother than pre-shredded.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
In the same pan, add potatoes. Sauté for 8–10 minutes until golden and tender. Add a splash of water if needed to help them cook through. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cream. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Add Parmesan
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Combine
Return the chicken and potatoes to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Step 6: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve warm with a side of salad or steamed vegetables.
