Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

• Gather the following ingredients:

  • Chicken thighs or breasts (boneless)
  • Potatoes (cut into chunks)
  • Garlic (minced)
  • Heavy cream
  • Lemon (juiced)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme, optional)

• Tips:

  • Choose skinless chicken for a lighter option.
  • Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• Add a drizzle of olive oil.

• Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

• Place the chicken in the heated skillet and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

• Practical Advice:

  • Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary for even browning.

Step 3: Cook the Potatoes

• In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.

• Add the potato chunks and sauté for about 10 minutes until they start to soften and brown.

• Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

• Common Pitfall:

  • Avoid cooking the potatoes on too high heat, as they may burn on the outside while remaining raw inside.

Step 4: Add Garlic and Cream

• Once the potatoes are tender, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Add the lemon juice and mix well.

Step 5: Combine Chicken and Simmer

• Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes.

• Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.

• Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

• Real-World Application:

  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
