Ingredients

4 - boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound baby potatoes (if larger than one-inch slice in half)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or less to taste)
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded italian blend cheese

How To Make garlic butter chicken

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts and place in a single layer in a casserole dish. Top with baby potatoes.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3

Pour garlic butter over chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle with half the crushed pepper and half the dried parsley.
Step 4

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked through. Top evenly with both kinds of cheese and the rest of the red pepper flakes and dried parsley. Bake an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Turn the broiler on for the last minute of cooking to lightly brown the tops but stay close by as broilers are unpredictable.
