Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Add potatoes to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole-grain mustard, stirring to combine.
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor.
Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for an even richer taste.
