Instructions
Creating High Protein Creamy Garlic Cheesy Chicken & Potatoes is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious dish to life:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine halved potatoes with chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the chicken and garlic mixture into the bowl with potatoes. Mix well to combine.
6. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine sour cream and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth.
7. Assemble: Pour the creamy cheese mixture over the chicken and potatoes. Stir to coat everything well.
8. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the entire mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top of the mixture for that delicious cheesy finish.
10. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
11. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
These steps will lead you through the process of creating a flavorful dish that’s both high in protein and full of creamy goodness.
