Looking for a delicious dinner that’s both easy and impressive? This Chicken and Potatoes with Dijon Cream Sauce is the perfect one-pan wonder! With tender chicken and potatoes smothered in a creamy Dijon sauce, it's the kind of meal that feels fancy but comes together in just 30 minutes.
For the chicken and potatoes:
- 3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning (or Herbs de Provence)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ pound baby potatoes (halved or quartered, no larger than 1-inch pieces)
For the Dijon Cream Sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth (preferably low-sodium)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp cracked black pepper (adjust to taste)
Prepare the chicken and potatoes:
In a large bowl, toss the chicken breasts and halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (or Herbs de Provence).
Cook the chicken and potatoes:
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, stirring to combine.
Add the chicken breasts to one side of the skillet and the potatoes to the other side. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are browned.
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Prepare the sauce:
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth and Dijon mustard, then whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Combine and bake:
Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet. Toss them in the sauce to ensure they’re coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Make-ahead tip: This recipe can be doubled. Simply follow the steps but arrange the browned chicken and potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the sauce over them before baking.
