Description
A delightful one-pot meal featuring juicy chicken, tender potatoes, and a creamy Dijon sauce, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large chicken breast (approximately 8 ounces)
- 2 cups baby Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breast with salt and Italian seasoning. Add the chicken and quartered potatoes, cut side down, to the pot. Sear until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the chicken and potatoes from the pot and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add butter, diced onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Pour white wine into the pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the wine is reduced by half. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and additional salt and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Nestle the seared chicken and potatoes into the sauce, making sure they are mostly submerged. Cover the pot and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) and the potatoes are tender. Alternatively, you can bake the covered pot in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for similar results.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish. Serve directly from the pot and enjoy it with some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Notes
For extra depth, add a splash of lemon juice just before serving. You can also substitute chicken breast for thighs for a richer flavor.
