Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Those browned bits left behind from the chicken and potatoes are full of flavor.
Lower the heat and add the cream.
Stir in the Parmesan and let the sauce gently thicken.
Bring everything together
Return the potatoes and chicken to the skillet.
Spoon some of the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and potatoes.
If you’re adding spinach, stir it into the sauce now and let it wilt.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and cook until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked through.
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces and potatoes, so check that the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature before serving.
The finishing touch
Once everything is cooked, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.
The combination of golden potatoes, creamy sauce, garlic, herbs, and Parmesan makes this one of those dishes that smells incredible before it even reaches the table.
Serve it straight from the skillet with some crusty bread for soaking up the sauce.
Why this one is worth saving
It’s one pan, simple ingredients, and a complete meal without complicated preparation.
And because the potatoes cook in the same pan as the chicken and sauce, they absorb all those savory flavors while becoming tender inside.
If you’re looking for an easy dinner that feels much more special than an ordinary chicken-and-potatoes meal, this is one to keep in your recipe rotation.
