Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes about 1/2-inch in size.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

Step 5

In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the remaining olive oil. Once hot, add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the pan. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan for flavor.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream, dried thyme, remaining salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and return them to the pan along with the crispy potatoes.

Step 11

Gently toss everything together to coat in the creamy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 12

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and half of the parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 13

Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
