Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup milk or cream

  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (15–20 mins). Drain and mash with butter, milk, and salt. Set aside.

  • Chicken: Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through (5–6 mins per side). Remove and keep warm.

  • Dijon Sauce: In the same pan, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Stir in broth, Dijon, cream, and thyme. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.

  • Return chicken to pan to coat with sauce. Serve hot over mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a gourmet touch.

  • Yukon gold potatoes give the creamiest mash.

  • Try a sprinkle of parmesan on top for extra flavor.
