  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add chicken broth, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

  8. Season the sauce with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  9. Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat evenly in the sauce.
  10. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well.

Cut potatoes into smaller cubes for faster cooking. Taste the sauce before baking and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot for the creamiest texture. This dish works perfectly as a complete one-pan family meal.
