Ingredients
For the Chicken
1 large chicken breast, halved
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Potatoes
1½ cups baby Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
For the Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
½ large onion, diced small
½ cup chicken broth
⅛ cup white wine
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
½ cup Parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, to taste
Instructions
Sear Chicken and Potatoes:
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and Italian seasoning.
Place chicken (skin-side down if using skin-on) and potatoes (cut side down) into the pot. Sear both for 5–6 minutes until golden, flip, and cook 3–4 more minutes. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics & Deglaze:
Lower heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and onion. Sauté until fragrant.
Pour in white wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Build the Sauce:
Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Parmesan, and seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Simmer Chicken and Potatoes:
Return chicken and potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook over low heat for 15–20 minutes, or bake covered at 350°F (190°C) until fully cooked and potatoes are tender.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve directly from the pot with crusty bread to soak up the creamy Dijon sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, use bone-in skin-on chicken thighs or breasts.
Parmesan adds salty richness—adjust salt if using pre-grated cheese.
White wine can be substituted with more broth if preferred.
The sauce is also delicious over rice or pasta if you want to stretch the dish further.
