  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp 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 cup baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, combine chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, optional lemon juice, and herbs. Stir well and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the sauce.
  4. Sauté trimmed asparagus in another pan with olive oil over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes until bright green but tender.
  5. Serve by placing sautéed asparagus on each plate topped with seared chicken drizzled with creamy sauce alongside crispy roasted potatoes.
