Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken:

- Cook the Potatoes:

- Prepare the Creamy Sauce:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in Parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Simmer for a few minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Arrange grilled potatoes on a serving platter.
- Top with grilled chicken.
- Drizzle creamy sauce over the dish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Alternative Cooking Methods: Roast potatoes in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes if grilling isn’t an option.
- Chicken Options: Bake or pan-fry chicken instead of grilling.
- Thicker Sauce: For a thicker sauce, add a slurry of 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water.
- Vegetable Additions: Grill bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for extra flavor and color.
