Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- to taste Salt & Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- ¾ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes
- ½ cup Whole Milk or Cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 cups Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar or Honey
- to taste Cinnamon or Thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a simmer, then add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs. Stir well and allow it to thicken for a couple of minutes.
- Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Let it simmer on low heat to absorb the flavors.
- Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes. Add warm milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, and mash until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Glaze the Carrots: In another pan, cook the sliced carrots in boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain and return them to the pan. Add brown sugar or honey and stir on low heat until the carrots are glazed and tender.
- Plate the Dish: Serve the creamy chicken with generous portions of mashed potatoes and glazed carrots on the side.
Notes
For additional flavor, consider marinating the chicken or using cream cheese in the mashed potatoes.
