Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 6 cups Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they are larger than bite-sized. Set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the dish and season both sides with 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix. Spread the potatoes evenly around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
