Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce recipe

This Chicken and Potatoes Dijon Sauce recipe combines tender chicken and crispy potatoes in a creamy, tangy Dijon mustard sauce for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 500g baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. While potatoes roast, heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook the sauce for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in fresh thyme leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Let it warm through for 2 minutes.
  7. Serve the chicken topped with Dijon sauce alongside roasted potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms or a squeeze of lemon juice to the Dijon sauce before serving.
