Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce recipe

Freshly prepared Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce plated

A hearty and flavorful dish featuring tender chicken and crispy potatoes smothered in a creamy Dijon mustard sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 800g baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. While potatoes roast, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add chicken broth, scraping the pan to release browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard, simmering gently until sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Add roasted potatoes alongside or mix into the skillet to coat with sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Dijon mustard and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking. Serve with a side of steamed green vegetables for a balanced meal.
