Here’s how to make High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes in a few simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally until slightly tender.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Prepare Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer slightly.
7. Add Cheese: Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
8. Combine Chicken and Potatoes: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes in the creamy sauce.
9. Bake: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbling.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let it cool slightly before serving.
