Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breasts diced
  • 16 oz baby dutch potatoes gold or red
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 white onion diced
  • 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning* for chicken or use your favorite
  • 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning for potatoes or use your favorite
  • Olive oil

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 heaping tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine* see notes for substitution
  • 2 cups heavy cream half & half can be substituted but will be thinner
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9x13 nonstick baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Boil & Bake Potatoes

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork tender. Scoop out potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool on a baking pan.
  • Into the same boiling water, add the broccoli and boil for 2 minutes to blanch. Drain broccoli and pat dry.
  • Drizzle potatoes with 1/4 cup olive oil and toss them to coat. Use the underside of a measuring cup to smash potatoes. Sprinkle on the seasoning and bake for 40-45 minutes or until crispy. Leave the oven on.

While Potatoes Bake:

  • In a skillet over medium-low, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the seasoned chicken. Cook about 4 minutes, flip once, reduce heat to low and add butter, onion and garlic. Saute until chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to chicken and onions into a 9x13 baking dish.

Make Cream Sauce

  • In the same skillet over medium, add the butter and minced garlic. Saute until fragrant then add in the white wine. Bring mixture to a low boil and simmer until the wine reduces by half.
  • Add in heavy cream and bring to a low boil. Simmer until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the pepper, parmesan and whisk until incorporated. Taste and add salt if needed - remember the potatoes and chicken also have salt, so don't overdo it.

Assemble and bake:

  • To the chicken, add in potatoes and broccoli into the 9x13 baking dish. Stir to evenly distribute ingredients. Top with cheese and pour over the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until warmed through and cheese is melted.

Notes

* Chicken seasoning and potato seasoning are just suggested and what I used. You can swap out for your favorite all-purpose seasoning or use Italian seasoning.
* To substitute the wine: use 1/2 cup chicken stock with 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice.
