Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes, diced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
Lower the heat and sauté minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring until slightly thickened.
Toss in diced potatoes and thyme, coating well in the sauce. Return the chicken to the skillet.
Transfer everything to the prepared baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
