Print Recipe

Creamy Garlic Herb Chicken with Roasted Potatoes is a hearty, one-pan meal featuring seared chicken breasts simmered in a rich garlic-herb cream sauce, paired perfectly with crispy oven-roasted potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped)
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes)
  • Salt, pepper, and herbs for seasoning potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  2. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  6. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, thyme, and parsley. Stir well and simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and let simmer for another 3–5 minutes to absorb flavors.
  8. Serve chicken with creamy garlic herb sauce alongside the roasted potatoes. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for extra juiciness if preferred.
  • Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant flavor if available.
  • Add sautéed spinach or green beans for extra veggies.
  • Double the sauce if serving with pasta or extra sides.
