Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • to taste fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and stir until combined.
  6. Add the chicken back into the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet.
  8. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until crispy.
  9. Serve the creamy garlic chicken over crispy potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Start the potatoes before the chicken, so everything finishes hot and fresh. For a lighter version, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream. For extra crispy potatoes, don’t crowd the baking sheet! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
