Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 Russet Potatoes
  • 6 oz. Carrots
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 0.9 oz. Butter
  • 2 fl. oz. Heavy Whipping Cream
  • ⅓ cups Dijon Mustard
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray. Place a colander in the sink.

  2. Peel and cut potatoes into 1" dice. Peel, trim, and cut carrots into 4" sticks. Lightly crush garlic. Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Bring a medium pot with potatoes, garlic, enough water to cover, and 1 tsp. salt to a boil. Cook 14-18 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain in colander and return potatoes and garlic to pot. Add butter and heavy cream and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.

  4. While potatoes cook, place Dijon (reserve 1 Tbsp. for garnish) and panko breadcrumbs in two separate plates or shallow dishes. Mix 1 Tbsp. water with Dijon. Coat chicken in Dijon, then dredge in panko breadcrumbs until completely coated.

  5. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chicken to hot pan and sear on each side 2-3 minutes, or until beginning to brown (chicken will finish cooking later).

  6. Place carrots on one side of prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer and place seared chicken breasts on other side. Roast 10-12 minutes, or until chicken has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove chicken from baking sheet and let rest 5 minutes.

  7. Place a portion of potatoes on a plate along with a chicken breast. Arrange a serving of carrots against chicken. Spoon reserved Dijon next to chicken.
