Creamy Garlic Chicken with Cypriot New Potatoes - Foodies100 Challenge

By Aworldfullofprettiness
In the winter, there's nothing better than a good hearty meal to warm those insides up after a tiring day at work. When I got the opportunity to pop my chef's hat on again, I of course didn't refuse! The challenge was to include these lovely Cypriot new potatoes in the recipe, and I instantly knew how I was going to incorporate these into my meal. My favorite meals are cream-based dishes, and with a little trial and error, I think I've perfected yet another creamy garlic wonder!
Cypriot potatoes are have made their way from the gorgeous island of Cyprus and are so versatile that they could be used in many dishes. They pride themselves in their 'rich, creamy yet earthy taste' and I can definitely vouch for that in this recipe.
  Cypriot New Potatoes are available in Tesco stores from now until the end of March so grab a pack before they're gone!
Come watch me as I cook a Creamy Garlic Chicken & Potato dish with those lovely Cypriot potatoes!
