A comforting and creamy chicken and potatoes dish coated in a rich Dijon sauce that brings together tender textures and a subtle tangy flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 500 grams baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 200 milliliters heavy cream
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  3. Add olive oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering.

  5. In the same skillet, add butter and garlic, then add the baby potatoes and cook for a few minutes.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, add Dijon mustard and heavy cream, then stir gently.
