Step 2: Crisp the Potatoes
In a large skillet (cast iron preferred), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until both sides are golden and crispy (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Sear the Chicken
Using the same skillet, heat olive oil and add the seasoned chicken. Cook over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through, around 6–8 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed. Remove chicken and set aside.
Step 4: Make the Garlic Cream Sauce
Lower the heat slightly. Add the minced garlic directly into the skillet (no need to clean it), stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Add the heavy cream and bring to a light simmer.
Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes. Add red chili flakes if you want a spicy kick.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken and crispy potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes so all the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve directly from the skillet with a side of crusty bread or a light green salad.
💡 Tips for Success:
- Slice potatoes thin for fast, even cooking.
