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
  • 34 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, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken skin-side down until golden brown (5-6 minutes). Flip and cook through; then set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, deglaze with chicken broth. Stir in cream, Dijon mustard, dried herbs, salt, and pepper; simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened. Return chicken to the skillet to coat in the sauce.
  3. Boil cubed potatoes in salted water until soft (about 15 minutes) then mash with butter, milk (or cream), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Boil or steam peeled carrots until tender (around 10 minutes). Drain and toss in olive oil (or butter), salt, and dried parsley for glazing.
  5. Serve by plating mashed potatoes alongside glazed carrots, topped with seared chicken and generous herb sauce.
