Ingredients

For the Potatoes:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

For the Chicken and Sauce:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Garlic Parmesan Sauce (store-bought like Buffalo Wild Wings or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Roast Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

  1. While the potatoes bake, pat the chicken breasts dry.
  2. Season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature: 165°F/74°C).

Step 4: Add the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  1. Reduce the heat to low.
  2. Pour the Garlic Parmesan Sauce over the chicken, stirring gently to coat.

Step 5: Combine with Roasted Potatoes

  1. Add the crispy roasted potatoes to the skillet, mixing them into the sauce.
  2. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 6: Melt the Cheese

  1. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7: Serve

  1. Plate the chicken and potatoes, spooning extra sauce over the top.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Adjust Heat Levels: If you prefer a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or sauce.
  • Potato Options: Yukon Gold or baby red potatoes work best for roasting.
  • Even Cooking: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking.

FAQs

Can I use bone-in chicken?

What if I can’t find Garlic Parmesan Sauce?

You can make your own by combining:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

What can I serve alongside this dish?

A fresh green salad, steamed broccoli, or roasted asparagus pairs beautifully with this dish.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can roast the potatoes and sear the chicken in advance. When ready to serve, reheat everything in the skillet with the sauce.
