Ingredients
For the Chicken & Potatoes:
3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered (no larger than 1 inch pieces)
For the Dijon Cream Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
Instructions
Preheat Oven Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Chicken & Potatoes In a large bowl, toss the chicken and potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then melt the butter and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken on one side of the pan and the potatoes on the other. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until the chicken is browned. Transfer both to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Make the Sauce In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the Dijon mustard. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Bake to Perfection Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to coat. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Serve & Enjoy Spoon the creamy Dijon sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
