Ingredients :
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb. baby potatoes (if larger than one inch, slice in half)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or less, to taste)
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
Instructions :
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with kosher salt and black pepper, then place them in a single layer in a casserole dish. Add the baby potatoes around the chicken.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the garlic butter mixture cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the garlic butter over the chicken and potatoes in the casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the red pepper flakes and half of the dried parsley over the top.
- Bake the chicken and potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the chicken is almost cooked through.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven and evenly top the chicken and potatoes with the shredded mozzarella and Italian blend cheeses. Sprinkle the remaining red pepper flakes and dried parsley over the cheese.
- Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- For a golden brown finish, turn on the broiler for the last minute of cooking, but keep a close eye on the dish as broilers can be unpredictable.
- Once done, remove the Cheesy Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Bake from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful dish with your favorite side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal!
