Creating Creamy Herb Chicken & Potatoes is simple if you follow these steps:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved baby potatoes. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.
- Add Flavor: Add the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Combine Liquids: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Return Chicken: Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet with the potatoes and sauce.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Add Spinach: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the chopped spinach to the skillet, allowing it to wilt.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.
