Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Creamy Herb Sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, parsley)
Glaze
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Mashed Potatoes
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for mashed potatoes)
  • to taste Salt and pepper (for mashed potatoes)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: Melt butter, whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Cook until thickened. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Make the Cream Sauce: Add chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and fresh herbs. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Combine: Place mashed potatoes on a plate, add the chicken breast, glaze the chicken with the prepared glaze and top with the creamy sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in herbs and spices before cooking.
