Garlic Butter Chicken and Potato is a comforting one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken, crispy golden potatoes, and a rich garlic butter sauce. It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried thyme and oregano)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for potatoes)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Arrange chicken and potatoes in the skillet, coating them with the garlic butter.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender and golden.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Add vegetables like green beans or broccoli directly to the pan for a complete meal.
  • Stir in a splash of cream or grated Parmesan for extra richness.
  • Use bone-in chicken with 10 extra minutes of cook time if preferred.
  • Check chicken doneness with a meat thermometer—165°F is ideal.
