Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken breast, cubed
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, quartered
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large oven-safe skillet or pan, toss the cubed chicken and potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Spread them evenly in the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Remove pan from oven and transfer chicken and potatoes to a plate.
5. Place the same pan on medium heat and pour in chicken broth. Scrape the bottom to deglaze the pan.
6. Mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, then whisk into the broth to thicken. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
7. Return the chicken and potatoes to the pan, spoon gravy over them, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
8. Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Be sure not to overcrowd the pan—use a large enough skillet for even roasting.
For a deeper flavor, try using boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
The gravy can be adjusted with more broth or thickened with more cornstarch depending on your preference.
