Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss halved potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in cream, Parmesan, and Dijon mustard. Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Transfer to oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
  8. Serve chicken with roasted potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for added flavor; adjust cook time as needed.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or coconut cream.
  • Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra vegetables.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
