Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Starch:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, diced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, creating a golden cooking surface.
- Generously coat chicken breasts with a blend of Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
- Sear chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior and ensuring internal doneness. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- Introduce diced potatoes to the same skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes, occasionally stirring to promote even browning and develop a crispy exterior.
- Introduce minced garlic to the potato mixture, sautéing for 1 minute to release aromatic flavors and prevent burning.
- Carefully return chicken to the skillet, then lavishly sprinkle parmesan cheese over both chicken and potatoes. Cover and allow cheese to melt completely for 2-3 minutes.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch. Serve immediately while hot and aromatic.
Notes
- Check chicken doneness by using a meat thermometer, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Slice chicken into thinner pieces for faster, more even cooking and better seasoning absorption.
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or plant-based protein for vegetarian version, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
