- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and tender.
- Season chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove chicken and let it rest.
- In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Slice chicken, drizzle with herb cream sauce, and serve alongside roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- You can substitute chicken breasts with boneless thighs for a juicier texture.
- For extra flavor, roast the potatoes with a few cloves of garlic.
- The herb cream sauce can also be used over fish or pork.
