Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 2–3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cups baby carrots or sliced carrots
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or thyme

Instructions

  1. Make the mashed potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain, add butter and milk, and mash until smooth. Keep warm.
  2. Glaze the carrots: In a medium saucepan, combine carrots, butter, brown sugar, salt, and water. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender, removing the lid to thicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
  3. Cook the chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter, then sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Make the herb cream sauce: In the same skillet, cook minced garlic for 30 seconds. Deglaze with chicken broth, then stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return chicken to the pan: Place chicken back in the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes with the sauce.
  6. Assemble and serve: Plate with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots, drizzling with extra sauce and garnishing with parsley or chives.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently.
