Instructions

1. Preheat the oven:
   Preheat to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the potatoes:

   • In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary or thyme if using.

   • Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and tender.

3. Cook the chicken:

   • While the potatoes roast, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Sear each side for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

4. Make the creamy garlic sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

   • Add chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

   • Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Finish the chicken:

   • Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and simmer for another 5–7 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).

6. Serve:

   • Plate the chicken and pour extra sauce over it.

   • Serve alongside the roasted baby potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.

This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp salad.

I can also give a one-pan oven-baked version where the chicken and potatoes cook together for even less cleanup. Do you want that version?
