Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables and Starch:
- 1 pound (1 lb) baby potatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons (3 tbsp) olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Warm a spacious cast-iron skillet with olive oil over moderate temperature, creating an even heating surface for cooking.
- Thoroughly coat chicken breasts with a harmonious blend of seasoning, ensuring each piece is generously covered with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian herb mixture.
- Carefully place seasoned chicken into the hot skillet, allowing each side to transform into a golden-brown crust, approximately 4-5 minutes per side, guaranteeing complete internal cooking.
- Transfer seared chicken to a separate plate, maintaining its warmth and preserving its crispy exterior.
- Introduce diced potatoes into the same skillet, utilizing remaining oil and accumulated flavor remnants for enhanced taste.
- Sprinkle potatoes with complementary seasonings, allowing them to develop a crispy, caramelized exterior while maintaining a tender interior through 10-12 minutes of careful cooking.
- Incorporate minced garlic into the potato mixture, releasing its aromatic essence and creating a rich, fragrant base.
- Gently return chicken to the skillet, nestling the pieces among the golden potatoes.
- Generously dust the entire dish with freshly grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a luxurious, creamy coating.
- Let the cheese thoroughly melt and slightly crisp for approximately 2 minutes.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant, herbaceous touch before serving.
Notes
- Prevent dry chicken by using a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F for perfectly juicy results.
- Swap chicken breasts with thighs for richer flavor and more tender meat if preferred.
- Cut potatoes into uniform, bite-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking and crispy exterior.
- Customize the dish by adding red pepper flakes for extra heat or fresh herbs like thyme for deeper flavor complexity.
