Instructions
Creating Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce and Mashed Potatoes can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
4. Add Cream and Dijon: Pour in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, honey, and chicken broth. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
5. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
7. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: If you’re making homemade mashed potatoes, cook peeled potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, then drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste.
8. Serve: Plate the chicken and ladle the creamy Dijon sauce over the top. Serve the mashed potatoes on the side.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
