Description
A hearty dish of tender chicken smothered in a rich gravy, served with flavorful herb-roasted potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 medium potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add flour and stir to create a roux. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream to make a smooth gravy.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet.
- Place the skillet with chicken in the oven, and roast the potatoes on a separate rack for 25-30 minutes, until both are cooked through.
- Serve the smothered chicken with herb potatoes on the side.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to your preference.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
