Method
Step 1: Prep the Vegetables
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, carrots, and broccoli.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
• Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sear the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce
• In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously.
• Add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, whisking until the sauce thickens slightly and the cheese is fully melted.
• Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
• Remove the vegetables from the oven once golden and tender.
• Plate the creamy garlic Parmesan chicken with a generous side of roasted vegetables.
• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Tips for Success
• Use fresh garlic for a more intense flavor.
• Don’t overcook the chicken — use a meat thermometer and aim for 165°F (74°C).
• Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for variety.
