## **Instructions**
### **Step 1: Season the Chicken**
1. Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**.
2. Pat the **chicken breasts** or **thighs** dry with paper towels, then season generously with **garlic powder**, **paprika**, **salt**, and **pepper**.
3. Heat **olive oil** in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for **4-5 minutes per side** until golden brown. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
### **Step 2: Prepare the Sauce**
1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Pour in the **heavy cream** and **chicken broth**, stirring to combine.
2. Add the **Dijon mustard** and **fresh thyme**, then allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
3. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for **20-25 minutes**, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of **165°F (74°C)**.
### **Step 3: Roast the Potatoes**
1. While the chicken is baking, prepare the **baby potatoes**. Toss the potatoes with **olive oil**, **dried rosemary**, **salt**, and **pepper**.
2. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven (on a separate rack) for **20-25 minutes** until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For extra flavor, sprinkle with **Parmesan cheese** during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
### **Step 4: Assemble & Serve**
1. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
2. Plate the chicken, spoon the creamy sauce generously over the top, and garnish with **fresh parsley**.
3. Serve alongside the roasted potatoes and enjoy!
## **Tips for Success**
🍗 **Opt for Chicken Thighs** – If you want a richer flavor and juicier texture, use chicken thighs instead of breasts. They hold up well to longer cooking times.
🥔 **Crispier Potatoes** – For extra crispy potatoes, be sure to spread them out in a single layer and flip them halfway through roasting.
🍇 **Pair with a Side Salad** – Add a light, fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish. A tangy vinaigrette will complement the creamy sauce beautifully.
🍷 **Wine Pairing** – Serve this dish with a crisp white wine like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, which pairs wonderfully with the creamy sauce.
