Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large chicken breasts Choose high-quality chicken for best flavor
  • 12 pieces baby potatoes Firm, small potatoes work best
  • 3 cups fresh green beans, trimmed Vibrant green beans enhance presentation
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a dairy-free option, use non-dairy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth Can substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Nutritional yeast can be used for a dairy-free version
Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Used for seasoning chicken and cooking potatoes
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter Used for sautéing garlic
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic for best flavor
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by rubbing the chicken breasts with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, roughly 15 minutes. After draining, sauté them in olive oil until golden brown.
Cooking
  1. In a hot skillet, brown the seasoned chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about one minute. Then, add chicken broth, cream, paprika, and Parmesan cheese, simmering until the sauce is smooth.
Serving
  1. Serve the sliced chicken alongside the sautéed baby potatoes and fresh green beans, drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce or using rotisserie chicken for a quick meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
