How to Make Creamy Lemon Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
  1. Start by prepping your ingredients; chop the garlic and zest the vibrant lemons.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, searing them until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes per side) and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and add halved potatoes. Cook these little gems until golden brown and fork-tender, approximately 10 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat, then add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until it’s fragrant—about 30 seconds. Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, lemon juice, and zest; let mixture simmer until it thickens and becomes creamy.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes. Cook together for an additional 5 minutes to meld all the flavors.
  6. Serve your creamy lemon chicken and potatoes hot, garnished with fresh herbs for that delightful finishing touch!

Notes

For best results, check for doneness with a meat thermometer; chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
