Creating the Garlic Butter Chicken and Potato Recipe is an effortless process if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prep Chicken: Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
3. Melt Butter: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet, browning each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
5. Prepare Potatoes: While the chicken browns, toss the cubed potatoes in a bowl with salt, pepper, and any remaining melted butter.
6. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is browned, add the cubed potatoes around the chicken in the skillet.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
