Ingredients
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
-
Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C).
-
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.
-
Place chicken breasts between parchment sheets and flatten to 1–2cm thickness. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Set aside.
-
In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
-
Add chicken stock and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
-
Stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
-
Return chicken to pan and simmer for another 5 minutes until fully cooked.
-
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.
