2. Cook the Chicken:
- While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp butter and the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of chicken broth or water to loosen it up.
4. Combine the Chicken and Potatoes:
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the garlic Parmesan sauce over the top.
- Add the crispy roasted potatoes around the chicken in the skillet and toss everything together to coat in the flavorful sauce. Allow everything to heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your juicy, flavorful Skillet Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Crispy Potatoes!
Tips & Variations
- Add Veggies: You can toss in some steamed or roasted vegetables, like broccoli or spinach, into the skillet to make the meal even more nutritious.
- Cheese Variations: If you don’t have Parmesan, try using Pecorino Romano or a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a different cheese profile.
- For a lighter version: You can swap out the butter for olive oil and use skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra flavor.
