Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chicken breast
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or parsley
- 6–8 asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F (220C). Toss halved baby potatoes in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same skillet where you cooked the chicken, pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice (if using), and herbs. Stir well and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the cooked chicken to coat it evenly in this delicious sauce.
- In a separate pan or using a clean portion of your skillet, toss asparagus spears in a little olive oil and sauté over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until they are just tender but still vibrant green.
- On each plate, arrange sautéed asparagus alongside crispy roasted potatoes. Top with seared chicken drizzled generously with creamy Dijon sauce. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful meal!
