Description

Creamy Dijon Chicken and Potatoes is a cozy, one-pan dinner packed with juicy seared chicken, crispy roasted potatoes, and a velvety Dijon mustard sauce. Quick, easy, and full of comforting flavor—perfect for busy weeknights or casual family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken & Potatoes:

  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 1 lb (500 g) chicken breasts (approximately 4 pieces)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp pepper

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 cup chicken stock

  • 1 cup cream

  • 3 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1–2 tsp lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C).

  2. Peel and cube the potatoes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  3. Place chicken breasts between parchment sheets and flatten to 1–2cm thickness. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.

  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.

  5. In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.

  6. Add chicken stock and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

  7. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

  8. Return chicken to pan and simmer for another 5 minutes until fully cooked.

  9. Garnish with parsley and serve with roasted potatoes.

Notes

  • For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before roasting and pat dry.

  • You can substitute boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness—just increase cook time slightly.

  • Add a touch of whole grain mustard for extra texture in the sauce.
