Chicken and Potatoes with Dijon Cream Sauce is a comforting, one-pan meal featuring seared chicken breasts paired with crispy baby potatoes, all smothered in a creamy, tangy Dijon mustard sauce. A rich and satisfying dish that’s perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

For the Chicken and Potatoes:

3 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 teaspoons Italian blend seasoning (or Herbs de Provence)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered (pieces no larger than 1 inch)

For the Dijon Cream Sauce:

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended)

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Prepare the potatoes: Cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters, making sure they’re no larger than 1 inch. Set aside.

  • Cook the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F/75°C internal temperature). Remove the chicken and set aside to rest.

  • Cook the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

  • Make the Dijon cream sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

  • Finish the sauce: Stir in heavy cream and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.

  • Assemble and serve: Return the chicken to the skillet with the potatoes, spoon the Dijon cream sauce over the top, and simmer for a few minutes to combine the flavors. Serve with extra sauce and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Add vegetables: Add sautéed vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or green beans along with the potatoes for a more complete one-pan meal.

Use other cuts of chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks also work well in this recipe. Just adjust cooking times.

Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for an extra spicy twist.
