Add Veggies: For a complete one-pan meal, you can add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to the skillet along with the chicken for extra flavor and nutrition.

Low Carb Option: Skip the potatoes and serve the garlic butter chicken bites over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a low-carb alternative.
Cheese Variation: If you prefer a different type of cheese, try swapping the mozzarella for cheddar or gouda for a unique twist.
FAQ:
1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts? Yes, chicken thighs work great in this recipe. They are juicy and tender, and the additional fat can add a richer flavor. Just ensure they are cooked through.
2. How do I prevent the sauce from curdling? To avoid curdling, use heavy cream (not half-and-half or milk) and make sure the heat is low when adding the cream. Stir the sauce continuously to ensure smoothness.
3. Can I make this dish ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time. Store the chicken and sauce separately in the refrigerator, and reheat when ready to serve. The potatoes are best made fresh to maintain their crispy texture.
4. Can I make this dish dairy-free? To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free cream alternative, and use a plant-based butter and cheese substitute.
This garlic butter chicken with Parmesan cream sauce and cheesy roasted potatoes is sure to become a family favorite! It’s delicious, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.
