Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and setting everything on the countertop.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom.
- Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard; simmer gently until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Return the chicken to the pan, coating it in the sauce. Heat through for an additional 3 minutes.
- While the chicken simmers, boil the Yukon Gold potatoes until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, cream, salt, and pepper until creamy.
- Serve the Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce alongside the fluffy mashed potatoes.
