Creamy Herb Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots is a comforting meal with juicy chicken in a creamy herb sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk or cream
  • 2–3 tbsp butter for the potatoes
  • Salt to taste for the potatoes
  • 3 cups baby carrots or sliced carrots
  • 2 tbsp butter for glazing
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt for the carrots
  • Pinch of cinnamon or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and mash with butter, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Keep warm.
  2. In a saucepan, combine baby carrots, butter, brown sugar, salt, and a splash of water. Cover and simmer on medium heat for about 10-12 minutes until tender and glazed.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping the browned bits. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using), allowing it to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the sauce, spoon the sauce over it, and simmer for 2 more minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Plate the dish by serving the mashed potatoes alongside glazed carrots and chicken, drizzling extra sauce over everything and garnishing with fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with a side salad.
  • You can substitute other vegetables for the carrots.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste.
