Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Wash and chop the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet.
- Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Create sauce base: Stir in Dijon mustard, then gradually whisk in heavy cream and chicken broth. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine: Return the seared chicken and potato chunks to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Garnish & serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish before serving alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread.
