  • 2 teaspoons Italian blend seasoning or Herbs de Provence
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 227 grams (½ lb) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • For the Dijon Cream Sauce:
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 240 ml (1 cup) low-sodium chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
    • 240 ml (1 cup) heavy cream
    • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
    • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper, or to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Combine chicken and potatoes in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, toss, and season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer chicken and potatoes to a plate, cover to keep warm.
  4. For the sauce, melt butter in the same skillet. Stir in garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and dijon mustard, then whisk in heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  5. Return chicken and potatoes to the pan, toss in the sauce, and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Spoon dijon sauce over the chicken and potatoes, garnish with cracked black pepper and fresh herbs if desired, and serve.

Notes: Feel free to experiment with different herb blends for a personalized touch. For a lighter option, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream in the Dijon cream sauce. Nutritional information per serving: [Include nutritional details if available].
