Ingredients
For the Chicken and Sauce:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs, if preferred)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried herbs like oregano and thyme)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter for extra richness)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- ½ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
For the Vegetables (Optional):
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup green beans (or broccoli florets)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
For Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Extra grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Sear the Chicken:
2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
3. In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes, green beans, and sliced red bell pepper (if using). Sauté for 5-6 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Make the Sauce:
4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using).
Combine and Bake:
5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce and vegetables. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
Garnish and Serve:
6. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
