Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bone-in, skin-on chicken thigh
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, parsley, or Italian mix)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled & cubed
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 3–4 whole carrots, peeled
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter
  • Pinch of salt & dried parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil (or butter) and place the chicken skin-side down. Sear for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook through until fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet used for the chicken, pour in the chicken broth to deglaze it. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it well with the sauce.
  3. In a separate pot, boil cubed potatoes in salted water until soft (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash them with butter, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Boil or steam peeled carrots until fork-tender (around 10 minutes). Drain them and toss in a hot pan with olive oil (or butter), salt, and dried parsley for a glossy finish.
  5. On a plate, serve a generous portion of mashed potatoes next to glazed carrots. Top with your succulent herb-cream chicken drizzled with extra sauce. Finish with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
