Description
A delicious and creamy lemon garlic chicken dish served with tender potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 lb small potatoes (fingerling or baby)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley), for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and zesting lemons.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side) until cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pan; add halved potatoes and cook until golden brown and fork-tender (approximately 10 minutes).
- Lower the heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, and zest; simmer until thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes. Cook together for another 5 minutes to meld flavors.
- Garnish with fresh herbs before serving hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lemon juice and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your taste.
