Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Finishing Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1/2 lemon (juice)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Infuse chicken breasts with a robust blend of seasoning, ensuring each piece is generously coated with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  2. Warm a large skillet over medium heat, introducing olive oil and butter. Carefully place seasoned chicken into the sizzling pan, cooking approximately 5-6 minutes per side until achieving a golden exterior and fully cooked interior. Transfer chicken to a separate plate.
  3. Within the same skillet, melt remaining butter and introduce minced garlic, allowing the aromatics to release their fragrant essence until lightly golden and intensely aromatic.
  4. Introduce halved potatoes into the garlic-infused butter, seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, periodically rotating to ensure even browning and developing a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender core.
  5. Reintegrate the perfectly cooked chicken into the skillet, drizzling the rich garlic butter sauce over each piece. Allow the ingredients to harmonize and reheat together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the dish for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting a delectable one-pan meal bursting with flavor.

Notes

  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs or skinless cuts to accommodate different texture preferences and cooking times.
  • Adjust spice levels by increasing paprika or adding red pepper flakes for a bolder flavor profile.
  • Ensure potatoes are evenly cut to guarantee uniform cooking and crispy exterior with soft interior.
  • Transform this dish into a low-carb option by replacing potatoes with cauliflower or radish for similar texture and reduced carbohydrate content.
