Equipment

  • 1 skillet
  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large chicken breasts diced
  • 4 medium russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add diced chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, combine chicken broth, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese; stir until cheese melts and mixture is smooth.
  • Season the sauce with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper, then bring to a simmer without boiling over.
  • Add cubed potatoes to the sauce and stir until well coated, then return chicken to the skillet and mix gently.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and distribute evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Notes

  • For a low-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower.
