Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil or spinach, finely chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for potatoes)
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Roast potatoes for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy, tossing halfway through.
  4. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until nicely charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest before slicing.
  7. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  8. Whisk in flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
  9. Slowly pour in heavy cream while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens.
  10. Add Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, basil or spinach, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  11. Slice rested chicken and serve topped with the garlic herb cream sauce.
  12. Plate with roasted baby potatoes and garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature.
  • The cream sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
  • For added depth, try roasting the potatoes with whole garlic cloves.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
