Ingredients

🥔 2 cups diced potatoes
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧂 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
🍗 2 large chicken breasts
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧅 1 medium onion, diced
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🍋 Juice of 1/2 lemon
🧀 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
🌿 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

Instructions

1- Prepare Potatoes:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a baking dish, place the diced potatoes.
• Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning salt. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through.

2- Season and Cook Chicken:

• In a bowl, place the chicken breasts and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, pepper, and any additional herbs you prefer.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit more olive oil if needed.
• Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3- Prepare Creamy Lemon Sauce:

• In the same skillet, add the diced onions. Cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream.
• Squeeze in the lemon juice and add the shredded Parmesan cheese.
• Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

4- Combine and Serve:

• Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece to coat them well.
• Arrange cooked asparagus on a serving plate.
• Place the chicken over the asparagus and serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.
