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 with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, sear skin-side down in olive oil for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook until fully done. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chicken broth to deglaze, scraping up bits from the bottom. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Simmer until slightly thickened (4-5 minutes). Return chicken to coat with sauce.
  3. Boil cubed potatoes until soft (about 15 minutes), then mash with butter, milk/cream, salt, and pepper until fluffy.
  4. Steam or boil whole carrots until fork-tender (about 10 minutes). Toss with olive oil/butter and seasonings until glossy.
  5. Serve chicken atop mashed potatoes alongside glazed carrots; garnish with fresh herbs.
