Instructions
Creating High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes is straightforward. Here are the steps to guide you through the process:
1. Prep Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.
3. Cook Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Add Garlic: Incorporate the minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to coat the chicken and potatoes. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese into the skillet, stirring until it melts and incorporates into the sauce.
7. Final Taste Check: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or seasoning, as desired.
8. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
