Description

A delicious and creamy chicken dish with tender potatoes and a hint of lemon.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb small potatoes (fingerling or baby)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and zesting lemons.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side) until cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pan; add halved potatoes and cook until golden brown and fork-tender (approximately 10 minutes).
  5. Lower the heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  6. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, and zest; simmer until thickened.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes.
  8. Cook together for another 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh herbs in the sauce.
