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
- Infuse chicken breasts with a robust blend of seasoning, ensuring each piece is generously coated with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
