Ingredients
To make this mouthwatering skillet dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
For the Potatoes:
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Start by prepping your potatoes. Wash and peel (if desired) the Yukon gold potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. The small cubes will ensure they cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme until they are evenly coated.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned potatoes. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to get crispy and golden brown on all sides. It’s important to give the potatoes space in the pan so they can crisp up, so avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the chicken breasts. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika on both sides.
In the same skillet (use the leftover drippings for extra flavor), add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and fully cooked on the inside (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside with the potatoes.
