- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes by washing and cutting them into halves or quarters.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear seasoned chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, cook the potatoes with salt and pepper for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute before pouring in heavy cream and scraping browned bits from the pan.
- Stir in parmesan cheese until melted, then return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs such as parsley or basil before serving.
