Ingredients
- 1 olive oil tablespoon
- 1.5 chicken thigh boneless skinless, or chicken breast; cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 potato small, quartered or halved if larger
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ chicken broth
- ¼ Parmesan Cheese grated, cup, plus more for topping
- ¼ heavy cream optional, for a creamier sauce
- 1 dried Italian herbs or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 mozzarella cheese shredded or blend with provolone
- parsley fresh, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven (optional): If using an oven-safe skillet, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is optional, but finishing the dish in the oven can help the cheese melt evenly and get bubbly.
- Cook chicken and potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (preferably oven-safe) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and the potatoes are slightly tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add garlic and broth: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add Parmesan and cream (optional): Stir in the Parmesan cheese and heavy cream (if using). Season with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and potatoes.
- Bake (optional): If using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot.
Notes
- Chicken: You can use chicken thighs or breasts for this recipe. Thighs tend to be more flavorful and moist.
- Potatoes: Small potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, are ideal for this skillet. You can leave the skin on for added nutrients and texture.
- Cheese: Mozzarella cheese is a classic choice, but you can use other cheeses that melt well, such as provolone, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses.
- Herbs: You can use fresh herbs instead of dried herbs.
- Spice Level: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet for a little heat.
