Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large oven-proof skillet, add the halved baby potatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.

    Roast the Potatoes: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.

      Cook the Chicken: While the potatoes are roasting, season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

          Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, rosemary, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

            Combine Everything: Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, allowing them to soak in the creamy garlic sauce. If the potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet as well. Stir gently to coat everything in the sauce.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, add lemon zest for a refreshing touch and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy garlic butter chicken and potatoes!
