Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in half of the cheddar cheese, mixing well.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, placing it snugly amid the potatoes and sauce. Cover and transfer the whole skillet to the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and return to the oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
