Dijon Chicken & Potatoes

Taking it back to the start with one of my original Wrecipes when I started the blog 10 months ago. As a busy working mother of three, I am ALL for easy weeknight dinners. I also take full advantage of using my cast-iron skillet whenever I get the chance. This simple, one skillet meal offers flavorful chicken in a creamy Dijon sauce.

Fresh herbs, creamy sauce and flavorful meat. What more can I gal ask for? My favorite part is the “one pot.” Easy cleanup equals happy Mama!

Servings 4

Ingredients

  

• 4 bonless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2½ tsp italian seasoning
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 3 tbsp butter (divided)
• 1/2 lb baby potatoes (halved or quartered into bite size chunks)
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 cup heavy cream
• fresh thyme (for garnish)

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Place the chicken and the potato chunks into a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and italian seasoning until coated. In the skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the chicken to half the pan and place the potatoes in the other half. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes or until browned. Flip the chicken and potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm.
• Dijon Sauce

  In the same skillet, melt the remaining tbsp of butter over low-medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth and dijon mustard, whisking to combine.Finally, whisk in the heavy cream. Bring to a low boil and then reduce heat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Return the chicken and potatoes to the pan. Give the potatoes and chicken a good stir in the dijon sauce. This will prevent the chicken from drying out when placed in the oven. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Spoon dijon sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Garnish with fresh thyme. Serve warm. Enjoy!
