Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Vegetables

  • 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
  • 500g baby potatoes, washed and halved

Sauces and Cream

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (natural)
  • 150ml plant-based cream
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 150ml chicken broth (gluten-free)

Aromatics and Herbs

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or substitute with rosemary or tarragon)

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
  2. Sear the Chicken and Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and potatoes, cooking until the chicken develops a golden crust and the potatoes begin to soften.
  3. Make the Creamy Dijon Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low and add minced garlic to the pan. Stir in Dijon mustard (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), chicken broth, and plant-based cream. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent gradually and stir gently to dissolve and create a smooth, velvety sauce.
  4. Simmer and Finish Cooking: Let the mixture simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken, the potatoes to become tender, and the chicken to cook through. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce is luxuriously thick and the chicken and potatoes are fully cooked, turn off the heat. Serve with fresh parsley or additional thyme and your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Pat your chicken dry before seasoning to achieve a golden crust.
  • Cut potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking with the chicken.
  • Add natural gelling agent gradually to prevent clumps and maintain a silky sauce.
  • Simmer slowly to develop richer flavor and better texture.
  • Maintain low to medium heat throughout to avoid breaking the cream and to keep chicken tender.
