Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup butter
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish

For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:

1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheesy Roasted Potatoes:

4 medium potatoes, cubed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet with minced garlic.

Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.

Remove from the skillet, set aside, and keep warm.

2️⃣ Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce

In the same skillet, add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

Stir and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

3️⃣ Prepare the Cheesy Roasted Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese over the roasted potatoes. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

4️⃣ Assemble the Dish

Pour the Parmesan cream sauce over the chicken bites, ensuring they are evenly coated. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve the creamy chicken bites alongside the cheesy roasted potatoes for a perfect pairing.
