Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 medium Shallots
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters if large. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure even browning. Set aside when cooked through and crispy on the edges.
While the potatoes roast, season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked at this stage).
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some sauce over them. Cover and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet, gently tossing them to coat in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the potatoes are warmed through.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
