instructions
    1

    Start by dicing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    3

    Next, peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes and finely chopped onion. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the onion is translucent.

    4

    Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    5

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes.

    6

    Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes until creamy and thickened.

    7

    Finish by chopping the parsley and sprinkle it over the skillet before serving.

Important Tips
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking chicken for even browning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even heat distribution.
