Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs or breasts
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika, then sear until golden on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion until soft.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
  6. Add potatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and stir gently.
  8. Return chicken to the pan and sprinkle in thyme or Italian seasoning.
  9. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes until potatoes are tender and chicken is fully cooked.
  10. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for best texture.
  • Keep heat low after adding cream to prevent curdling.
  • Add mushrooms or spinach for variation.
  • Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of broth or milk when reheating to loosen sauce.
