- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste (for sauce)
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for potatoes)
- Salt and pepper to taste (for potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from the pan. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Plate chicken with roasted potatoes and drizzle with extra sauce. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
- For extra richness, add a splash of white wine to the sauce before the cream.
- Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
