Ingredients
Chicken Breast: 1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces – Tender and juicy protein base.
Butter: 4 tablespoons – Used to sear chicken and add richness.
Garlic: 4 cloves, minced – Infuses aromatic flavor into the chicken.
Salt and Pepper: To taste – Enhances flavors throughout.
Paprika: 1 teaspoon – Adds color and subtle warmth to potatoes.
Optional Herbs: 1 teaspoon parsley or thyme – Adds freshness and visual appeal.
Instructions
Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) for roasting potatoes.
Combine Ingredients: Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese.
Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Assemble the Dish: Roast potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway. Meanwhile, heat butter in a skillet and sear chicken bites with garlic until golden and cooked through.
Cook to Perfection: Sprinkle flour over chicken, stir, then gradually add heavy cream and Parmesan, whisking until thickened into a creamy sauce.
Finishing Touches: Adjust seasoning and sprinkle fresh herbs over potatoes and chicken.

Notes
Pat chicken dry for proper searing.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, richer sauce.
Roast potatoes in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
Reheat leftovers gently in the oven to maintain texture.
