Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 6‑7 minutes per side.
  2. Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary; sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, season with salt and pepper. Simmer 10‑15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens.
  4. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15‑20 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
  5. Add milk and butter to potatoes; mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt.
  6. Serve chicken over mashed potatoes, drizzled with the creamy sauce.

Notes

  • For a lighter sauce
  • replace half of the heavy cream with low‑fat milk. Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a brighter flavor. Keep the sauce warm on low heat while the potatoes finish cooking to prevent over‑cooking the chicken.
