For the Chicken

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Vegetables and Sauce

Preparation

Cooking
  1. Sauté the potatoes in olive oil until golden.
  2. Sear the chicken in a hot skillet for 5-6 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.

Serving

Notes

For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes. To make it healthier, swap heavy cream for half-and-half. Use an air fryer for quick results.
